The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hoseseini, is the 2005 One Book, One Bloomington and Beyond selection.

The first Afghan novel written in English chronicles the effects of Afghanistan's turbulent recent history on the lives of its characters, exploring father-son relationships, friendships, and issues of betrayal and atonement, while engaging the reader in a tale about a land that no longer seems so far away.  View the bibliography for more information about The Kite Runner.
