"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
The Kite Runner follows the story of Amir, the son of a wealthy Afghani businessman and Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant from the 1970s to the present time and from Afghanistan to the US and back again. The story moves from the rich and powerful setting in Kabul to that of an immigrant family struggling to adjust in the US. Beautifully written, I felt like I was reading both a novel and getting a history lesson at the same time.
