i’m not very good at history and world politics bc things go through one ear and out the other when i hear about it. but reading about it like this makes it easier for me to understand the chain of events irl better

Hosseini’s prose is elegant and beautiful; his method of storytelling captivated me just as much as his lovingly crafted characters: Amir, the conflicted protagonist; Hassan, the devoted and loving servant; Baba, Amir’s indomitable father.
Explores themes of the horrors of war, sexual assault, racism, classism, terrorism in a skilful and meaningful way. Everybody should read this book.
