The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini, 2003
movie vs book
Marc Forster, 2007
In the 70’s in Afghanistan, the Pushtun boy Amir and the Hazara boy Hassan, are raised together in Amir’s father house, playing and kiting on the streets of a peaceful Kabul. On the day after his birthday party, Amir hides his new watch in Hassam’s bed to frame the boy as a thief and force his father to fire Ali, releasing his conscience from recalling his cowardice and betrayal.
