Detailed atmosphere and old school storytelling.
good describing life in Cairo in 1919.
Little boring pace but keep going until you reach the point of no return in the story.
I truly love the exceptional atmosphere of Chawton in this book. The love people have for Austen's books. This book is really for Austen fans. Quotes and details of many books have been referred all the time.
Cozy, easy reading I may say.
“The Kite Runner” is a heartbreaking and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of family, friendship, betrayal, and redemption in the context of the political and cultural turmoil of Afghanistan from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The story is told from the perspective of Amir, a young Afghan boy who grows up in Kabul during the peaceful and prosperous pre-war era, and later emigrates to the United States after the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban.
What makes this novel so powerful is the way it explores the human consequences of war and conflict, and the toll it takes on ordinary people's lives. Through Amir's journey of self-discovery and reconciliation with his past, the novel raises important questions about the nature of guilt, forgiveness, and atonement, and challenges readers to confront the complex moral and ethical dilemmas of our time.
Hosseini's writing is both lyrical and vivid, with a deep understanding of the cultural and historical context of Afghanistan, as well as the universal human experiences of love, loss, and longing. He creates a rich and nuanced cast of characters, from the charismatic and troubled Hassan to the complicated and flawed Baba, who embody the contradictions and complexities of Afghan society and culture.
