The Bookseller Of Kabul by Seierstad Asne
* The international bestseller: 'An intimate portrait of Afghani people quite unlike any other ... a compelling read' Christina Lamb, SUNDAY TIMES
Written sometimes more like fiction than fact.. this is a remarkable portrait, with deftly woven accounts of weddings and journeys, books and bookselling, relations and squabbles, firmly anchored by pleasing details about food and customs, all set against the backdrop of a derelict city, filthy and crammed but not defeated * Independent *
Fascinating ... a colourful portrait of people struggling to survive in the most brutal circumstances ... bear[s] witness to the power of literature to withstand even the most repressive regime -- Michael Arditti, Daily Mail
A unique insight into another world as the Norwegian answer to Kate Adie shares the life of a family in Kabul * Daily Mirror *
