The first of the defeated kites whirled out of control. They fell from the sky like shooting stars with brilliant, rippling tails, showering the neighbourhood.

Amir and Hassan grow up together in Kabul. Amir in the beautiful house his father built, filled with marble, gold, tapestries and mosaics; Hassan in the modest mud hut in the servants’ quarters.

The two are inseparable, and when twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament, his loyal friend promises to help him. But neither boy can predict what will happen to Hassan that afternoon – as the kites soar over the city – and how it will change their lives forever.

Review

A gripping read and a haunting story of love, loss and betrayal. Guaranteed to move even the hardest heart ― Independent

Shattering … devastating and inspiring ― Observer

Hosseini is a truly gifted teller of tales … he’s not afraid to pull every string in your heart to make it sing ― The Times

Rings true with tenderness and truth ― Daily Mail

A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story of a life crippled by an act of childhood and cowardice and cruelty … It speaks the harrowing truth about the power of evil, personal and political, and intoxicates, like a high-flying kite, with the power of hope ― Daily Telegraph

Stunning and heartbreaking in its quiet intensity ― Guardian

This is one of those unforgettable stories that stay with you for years. All the great themes of literature and of life are the fabric of this extraordinary novel: love, honour, guilt, fear, redemption … It is so powerful that for a long time after, everything I read seemed bland ― Isabel Allende

The novel that made Afghanistan the talking-point of every book group ― Guardian, 50 Books that Defined the Decade.
