But with destruction, Khaled Hosseini gives us hope. What has been said about the novel: "It is an unforgettable story, stays with you for years... It is so powerful that everything you read afterward and for a long time afterward seems tasteless." Isabel Allende The novel begins by talking about two close friends who are different in social class, race, and everything else, but the bond of friendship between them was strong. They used to go out together, laugh, play, and have fun, and most importantly, they chased after kites together to catch them. The friends are (Amir Agha), who lives in a large, luxurious palace, and (Hassan), their servant and house manager with his father. However, this friendship did not last after a terrible incident happened to Hassan Hazarai. What was the incident? And what is the secret behind this closeness between the two friends?
