A story of fierce cruelty and fierce yet redeeming love, both of which transform the life of the narrator, Amir, who comes of age during the last peaceful days of the Afghan monarchy. This is a wild and engaging story that goes beyond political upheaval and shows us how people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence that continue to threaten them even today. The book's hard, spare prose brings to life an intimate account of family and friednship, betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas to enlighten us.
