"This critically acclaimed book tells the story of a friendship between the son of a businessman and the son of his servant. As events change their lives in Afghanistan, their frienship is also changed. A very relevant tale with dramatic twists and turns." -- Youth Services Team, HPL.

"The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner tells a sweeping story of family, love, and friendship against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, bringing to mind the large canvases of the Russian writers of the nineteenth century. But just as it is old-fashioned in its narration, it is contemporary in its subject—the devastating history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years."--Penguin Group U.S.A.
