The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner
Author: Khaled Hosseini

Afgahnistan as seen through one child in one neighborhood at one time in the 20th Century. This novel is an amazing child's eye view of a family, a town, a country, a world we all share. In the end, living care-fully is about being as kind to one another as we can despite chaos and absurdities. When we rescue another we rescue ourselves: chase a kite, chase life, chase down love.
