A mostly heartbreaking book but with a side of beauty and all the ups and downs and flaws that come with life and love and family.
Tragedy was always close by in this story, which is only respectful of reality. Sohrab is someone I will remember for a long time.

and someone I wish had been spared the heartbreaking experiences following (and including) the murder of his parents. Amir is a deeply flawed mc, who treated Hassan from a conflicted but ultimately jealous and unkind and unfair standpoint. Even though he is just a child and a child of his environment. Assef is socio- and psychopathic.

I had a love-hate moment with this book. I couldn’t relate to the story so it was very sad to me and I had a hard time connecting with this book. However, I did find the story very tragic. I feel so bad for all of the people in this book. It was a great story but I don’t know that I would want to read it again.
