The relationships in this book are thoughtfully built and realistically unraveled and rebuilt, especially that of Amir and Baba.  There are so many layers to the story - parent/child, friends, mentors, cultures - all in a backdrop of a real war. All seamlessly woven together by the author’s ability to refer back to something earlier in the book to keep the reader from losing track of what had happened. A study in perspective and forgiveness. “For you, a thousand times over”
