Amir is a boy who is good with words and deprived of his father's affection. He resents his servant-friend (the pure Hassan), because Hassan is able to garner such from Amir's father.

Amir is a Pashtun Sunni, and Hassan a Hazara Shia, and the gulf between the two groups are made evident in their master-servant relationship.

Excited about this read - haven't read anything from Afghanistan before.
