Watch the book trailer!
In this novel, the author manages to capture the atmosphere of not only a setting and era, but of the friendship between two young boys as well as the relationship between a father and his son under difficult circumstances. Hosseini strives to recreate emotion through his plotline, placing the reader right by the side of the protagonist, Amir. We follow him through his navigation of growth - both physical and emotional. I found this book incredibly moving, realistically telling a story with colourful language and imagery.
Who would enjoy this? Anybody who is willing to be taken away with the book will love this story. The lessons learnt in the novel may not be particularly happy, but they are hopeful.
