In the winter of 1975, in an Afghanistan that still preserves its rich traditions, life in Kabul unfolds with intensity and color. Amir, a twelve-year-old boy, only longs to win the annual kite competition with the help of his loyal friend Hassan. However, an act of cruelty during the contest will mark their lives forever. Years later, exiled in the United States, Amir understands that he must return to Afghanistan, now under the Taliban regime, in search of redemption. This moving novel tells the story of two fathers and sons, their friendship, and how destiny can unexpectedly change our lives.
