Reviewer: Zainab"The grace of acceptance heals the wounds of brutality, for with forgiveness anything is possible, event he joy of soaring kites against a winter sky"
The elaborate details the author gives around characters, sights and sounds of the events of this boy's life make it an enjoyable read The most interesting thing however, is the local words used in the book which are meant to be Persian but we use these words so commonly in Urdu that it feels you can associate with the happenings described. The story is set two-three decades ago and describes the events in this boy's life, one of which affects him and shakes him up thoroughly.

Response:
Unlike the Harry Potter series where you instantly fall in love with the protagonist, no matter how much effort you make to like Amir, the main character, I just cannot forgive him for what he did to his friend.
