Question

It's not The Book Thief, but a character in this novel runs away from a party after being gifted a biography of Hitler before receiving a notebook to write stories in. A character in this novel is taught his father's religious interpretation that all sins are variations of the one sin of theft, and becomes afraid that his birth stole his mother's life. A character in this novel hides money under a (*) pillow to frame his friend so he doesn't have to admit that he saw his friend being raped. That event happens when his friend performs this novel’s title action after a local competition in which the central objects have glass glued to them. For 10 points, name this novel that fictionalizes Amir's experience growing up with the rise of the Taliban, by Khaled Hosseini. ■END■
