The Kite Runner (Paperback)

Khaled Hosseini's first novel moves between Kabul and California, tracing a friendship and the guilt that follows a betrayal. Published in 2003, the book reached an unusually wide readership and introduced many outside the region to Afghan history through fiction rather than reportage. Its narrative spans decades, covering the years before the Soviet intervention, a long period of exile, and a return under Taliban rule. This Bloomsbury paperback runs to roughly 350 pages and remains a common choice for reading groups, largely because the moral questions it raises are easy to argue about.
