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 Afghan monarchy, and apparently dissolved when Amir and his father flee to California to escape the Soviet invasion, leaving Hassan and his own 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 true friend he ever had. --back cover eng https://openlibrary.org/books/OL19435735M https://archive.org/details/kiterunner00hoss_0 urn:ISBN:0385660073 urn:ISBN:9780385660075 991616534
