Details Our next book is Kite Runner.

From the Publisher:
I sat on a bench near a willow tree and watched a pair of
kites soaring in the sky. I thought about something Rahim
Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an
afterthought, ?There is a way to be good again.??

Now in paperback, one of the year?s international literary
sensations -- a shattering story of betrayal and redemption
set in war-torn Afghanistan.

Amir and Hassan are childhood friends in the alleys and
orchards of Kabul in the sunny days before the invasion of
the Soviet army and Afghanistan?s decent into fanaticism.
Both motherless, they grow up as close as brothers, but
their fates, they know, are to be different. Amir?s father
is a wealthy merchant; Hassan?s father is his manservant.
Amir belongs to the ruling caste of Pashtuns, Hassan to the
despised Hazaras.

This fragile idyll is broken by the mounting ethnic,
religious, and political tensions that begin to tear
Afghanistan apart. An unspeakable assault on Hassan by a
gang of local boys tears the friends apart; Amir has
witnessed his friend?s torment, but is too afraid to
intercede. Plunged into self-loathing, Amir conspires to
have Hassan and his father turned out of the household.

When the Soviets invade Afghanistan, Amir and his father
flee to San Francisco, leaving Hassan and his father to a
pitiless fate. Only years later will Amir have an
opportunity to redeem himself by returning to Afghanistan
to begin to repay the debt long owed to the man who should
have been his brother.

Compelling, heartrending, and etched with details of a
history never before told in fiction, The Kite Runner is a
story of the ways in which we?re damned by our moral
failures, and of the extravagant cost of redemption.
