The Kite Runner is the story of a boy who grew up in Afghanistan during the last days of the monarchy, through revolution, the Taliban and the Soviet invasion. It is poignant and beautifully written and includes all the things that make a great story: loyalty, weakness, betrayal, guilt, lies, sex, secrets, violence, an attempted suicide, rejection and love.
