随感
阿米尔为了认识索拉娅,每天装作不经意的样子在索拉娅的摊位前经过,日夜思念,饱受相思之苦,最后终于鼓起勇气向索拉娅搭讪,二人相识,又交谈甚欢,但无奈受到人们的闲言碎语的困扰,突出了阿富汗深入人心的保守思想。文中用大量篇幅描绘了从发现父亲咳血到去医院反复确诊的过程,长达4个星期,凸显阿米尔内心的焦灼不安,同时渴望得到索拉娅的陪伴,而父亲拒绝化疗,一方面可能觉得治标不治本的做法不可取,没有必要浪费钱财,另一方面父亲内心的自尊感让他无法接受化疗后的副作用,想体面的离去。这也与阿米尔软弱的性格形成反差,文中令人感到开心的是,父亲帮助阿米尔谈成了婚事,迎娶了索拉娅,而阿米尔内心对哈桑的歉疚却始终未能公诸于世,父亲临终也未能得知真相。
