About this listen
A Richard and Judy Book Club Selection.
For more than 20 years Sultan Khan defied the authorities to supply books to the people of Kabul. He was arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned, and watched illiterate soldiers burn piles of his books in the street. In spring 2002, award-winning journalist Asne Seierstad spent four months living with the bookseller and his family. As she steps back from the page and lets the Khans tell their stories, we learn of proposals and marriages, hope and fear, crime and punishment. The result is a unique portrait of a family and a country.
2004, Nibbies, Short-listed

Expect your pre-conceived ideas to be challenged
Makes you realise the Burqua is inhuman and the current regime has no regard for the female population of Afghanistan
