A story set in between Central Asia and South Asia (Afghanistan), about two friends Amir (the wealthy son of a merchant -Agha Sahib), and Hassan (a Hazara, son of a servant -Ali).
Amir been an opportuned child had the necessities of life and attended school while Hassan didn't have the life Amir had and neither know how to read and write.
The two explored childhood together, Hassan defending Amir from a bully, Assef and a strong bond existed between them even though Amir never saw the two of them as true friends.
Things started to change when Amir wanted all of his father's attention to himself. He didn't want anyone to be loved by his father more than him and the desire to please him was there.
Their friendship took a new turn on the day of a kite running competition. Hassan got raped, which Amir saw but didn't do anything while he was watching. After the incident Hassan tried to rekindle the friendship between the both of them but Amir showed no zeal. He wanted to stay away from Hassan and he planted his belongings in Hassan's house so it would implicate him.
After the incident Hassan and his dad left the village. Life went on until war happened, Amir and his dad left for America. Amir got married there(though wasn't able to conceive), his dad (died without knowing the truth), and he became a published author.
Years later he was called by Rahim Khan who from him Amir got to know Hassan was his half brother and was dead with his wife, and a son who was alive. And Rahim pleaded with Amir to look for the surviving son. Hassan died without ever knowing the truth.
It turns out Hassan's son was been molested by Assef (same man that raped Hassan).
He tried to make things right again by bringing back Sohrab(Hassan's son). He had to face his enemy to win Sohrab and other obstacles, in all he overcame.
Broken Sohrab struggled through with himself, attempted suicide but in all, the reality he feared became a thing of the past.
