The Kite Runner - A poignant, touching story
February 17, 2008 – 6:11 am
I don’t normally review books, but here is one book that compels me to write in its honour. The book is The Kite Runner by the Afghan author Khaled Husseini.
The story set in Afghan, and later in the US, is a moving story of friendship, love and loyalty. The context of the story is set in a more peaceful Afghanistan and transitions to a Russian control, and Taliban regime. There is a certain quality in the story telling that genuinely touches your heart, and immerses the reader in the story.
However, there is also a shocking twist in the story that reveals itself towards the end.
All in all, a well crafted novel with strong characters and a story that lingers.
