[stylist] Culture Book Recommendations

[Cheryl Orgas & William Meeker]

It is The Kite Runner.  I read it and enjoyed it--found it worth reading.
If memory serves, the protagonist lived in Fremont, California, which has an
Afghan community.  BARD information below.

Bill Meeker

The kite runner DB57457
 Hosseini, Khaled. Reading time: 11 hours, 52 minutes. 
Read by Richard Hauenstein. 

 Growing Up
 Human Relations

 An Afghan in California recalls a fateful 1975 day in Kabul that seared his
soul at age twelve--the day he won a kite tournament and abandoned a younger
companion to rape. That cowardice keeps haunting him during exile in America
until the opportunity for atonement arises--back in Taliban-controlled
Afghanistan. Violence and some strong language. 2003.

I really enjoy Chaim Potok's books.  I also read a book a couple years ago
called The Kite Runner or something like that.  It takes place in
Afghanistan, I think.  Terrible to read a book and not remember the name.  I
used to write down the name and author of books I read.  I probably should
do it again.  I got out of the habit and haven't done it for awhile.  It was
a great 
reference for me.  Take care,    Debby
