"The Kite Runner" is Khaled Hosseini's #1 New York Times Bestselling Debut.
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
A sweeping story of family,
love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of
Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become
a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.
Some excerpts from "The Kite Runner":
“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime...”
“There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.”
“And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
“For you, a thousand times over”
“There is a way to be good again...”
It is the first novel by the Afghan-American author. First published in 2003, it was a number one New York Times bestseller for over two years, with over seven million copies sold in the United States.
