Content descriptions
General Note: | Includes Reader's guide. |
Summary, etc.: | An epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the atrocities of the present day. The story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy Afghan youth and the son of his father's servant, the novel is set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption. It is also about the power of fathers over sons: their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. |
