THE AFGHANS - ÅSNE SEIERSTAD KARTONIERT (TB)

In her international bestseller The Bookseller of Kabul  award-winning journalist Åsne
Seierstad studied life in Afghanistan before and after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.
Now twenty years later  the Taliban is back in power  and Seierstad returns with The Afghans  a
book to help us understand Afghanistan's past  present and future  told through the lives of
three unforgettable people. In her compelling  intimate and thought-provoking new book 
Seierstad introduces us to three people whose lives have been shaped by the fall and rise of
the Taliban - Jamila  Bashir and Ariana - as well their families  friends  foes and
co-fighters. Jamila is a women's rights activist  Bashir is a Taliban commander  Ariana is a
law student who had one semester left when the Taliban came to power. The stories of these
three Afghans encompass love  loss  revolt and war as well as the everyday rhythms of family
life. Through them  we experience and come to understand the lead-up to the Taliban retaking
power in 2021  how the first year of Taliban rule unfolded  and where this leaves Afghans today
and tomorrow. Praise for Åsne Seierstad: 'An intimate portrait of Afghani people quite unlike
any other' Sunday Times on The Bookseller of Kabul 'Has the feel of a non-fiction novel -
irresistible' New York Times on One of Us
