The Kite Runner
I just started The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. The book takes place in Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy that is present. This book is about two boys who currently live in Kabul who live in the same household but they both come and grow from different worlds. Amir is a son of a wealthy man and Hassan is the son of Amir's fathers servant. Hassan is a Hazara which is a member of a shunned ethnic minority. Amir and his father flee the country to California while the Soviets invade and Amir wants to escape his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of his best friend Hassan behind him.
