In our last meeting last Thursday we all agreed that The Kite Runner is a heart-wrenching book. This beautiful story of friendship, betrayal and redemption moved us deeply.
The characters of Hassan and Amir and their relationship are all carefully and convincingly described.
We may not be right- almost for sure we are not- but we thought that it was Baba´s dark secret that started the tragedy.
Baba , who is portrayed as strong, brave and honest, could not muster the strength to claim his own son , Hassan .
Amir could not understand why his father seemed to be more attached to a servant than to him and so he felt jealous and guilty. He wanted Hassan out of their lives because he thought that his friend was stealing part of his father´s love and admiration.
And in the end it was Amir the one who would atone for his sins and his father´s sins. So sad and so beautiful.
