«An astonishing piece of writing... I recommend it without reservations» - WILLIAM DALRYMPLE
«A brilliant book» - CHRISTINA LAMB, author of Farewell Kabul
When journalist Taran Khan arrives in Kabul, she discovers a place that contradicts her expectations. Her wanderings with other Kabulis reveal a fragile city in a state of rupture: it is struck by nearly continuous wars, yet it exudes the promise of peace, governed by ancient codes, yet experimenting with new forms of life.
Her walks lead her to unknown burials and the living - such as booksellers, archaeologists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs who are recreating this 3,000-year-old city. As NATO forces begin to withdraw from the country, Khan watches the cycle of transformation begin anew.
