![]() ![]() The transfer from young Amir to the adult Amir changes the tone of the story greatly. He finds the city in ruins, the people not far behind. It is very brief as it is told through the eyes of a child, now grown into an adult who reflects on the mistakes he made and his quest to find the "way to be good again."ĭetails are filled in later when Amir, the main character and oh-so-humble narrator, returns to his home in Kabul at 38-years old after fleeing to the United States with his father 20 years prior. It focuses on the humanity of the Afghan people. The story is structured around the Afghan culture and the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban, but it is not a story focusing on the war. I was a bit dubious to read the highly recommended book "The Kite Runner," but I found myself pleasantly surprised and thoroughly engrossed in the story of Amir that well lives up to the praise it received. ![]()
