Book
The kite runner : a novel / Khaled Hosseini.
Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the caste of Pashtuns. Hassan, his servant and constant companion is a Hazara, a despised and impoverished caste. Their uncommon bond is torn by Amir's choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the monarchy, and apparently dissolved when Amir and his father go to California to escape the Soviet invasion, leaving Hassan and his gentle father to a terrible fate. But years later, an old family friend calls Amir from Pakistan and reminds him: "There is a way to be good again." And Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only friend he ever had.
