February Book : The Kite Runner

By Khaled Hosseini

We all agreed that this is a fascinating account of life in Afganistan pre- and post-Soviet occupation but we got a little distracted during our book club meeting talking about everything but the book....as usual!

Di brought up the motif of guilt as an underlying theme of the entire book, which motivated the two major characters. None of us were fans of Amir and felt he had much to be guilty for. That's pretty much as far as our discussion went...

We need to catch the movie before it leaves the theatre!

Hosseini's next book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, might be a good choice for a future book of the month.
