The Kite Runner is a book with sensitive topics that many people often find hard to talk about especially if they have had a similar experience. This book touches on sexual abuse, discrimination, betrayal and redemption along with many other things. We see through the eyes of someone who faces guilt on a daily basis over what he had done to a trusted friend as he goes on a journey to atone for what he had done. We see many things unfold as the book progresses, friendships and relationship destroyed and formed. I believe this book allows us to fully understand how self forgiveness works.
