Description

A fabulous piece of writing . . . I recommend it unreservedly WILLIAM DALRYMPLEA brilliant book CHRISTINA LAMB, author of Farewell KabulOne of the first things I was told when I arrived in Kabul was never to walk...When journalist Taran Khan arrives in Kabul, she uncovers a place that defies her expectations. Her wanderings with other Kabulis reveal a fragile city in a state of flux stricken by nearconstant war, but flickering with the promise of peace governed by ageold codes but experimenting with new modes of living.Her walks take her to the unvisited tombs of the dead, and to the land of the living like the booksellers, archaeologists, filmmakers and entrepreneurs who are remaking this 3,000yearold city. And as NATO troops begin to withdraw from the country, Khan watches the cycle of transformation begin again.Winner of the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award 2021Winner of the Tata Literature Live First Book Award for NonFiction 2020Powerfully evocative Kapka KassabovaA wonderful journey Atiq RahimiKhan illuminates Kabuls lifeaffirming humanity TLS
