TKR 9

I think whats interesting in these chapters is how Afghanistan is the same yet different. All of the memories Amir had are still ingrained in the soil, history is like blood to Afghans they're proud of their lineage but also of their country. but in the next chapters Kabul as Amir knew it is gone. Utterly destroyed by the Taliban. Buildings are in ruins and trees are all gone, even Baba's home was infiltrated
