<p><b>''A fabulous piece of writing . . . I recommend it unreservedly'' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE</b><br><br><b>''A brilliant book'' CHRISTINA LAMB, author of <i>Farewell Kabul</i></b><br><br><b><i>One of the first things I was told when I arrived in Kabul was never to walk...</i></b><br><br>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 near-constant war, but flickering with the promise of peace; governed by age-old codes but experimenting with new modes of living.<br><br>Her walks take her to the unvisited tombs of the dead, and to the land of the living - like the booksellers, archaeologists, film-makers and entrepreneurs who are remaking this 3,000-year-old city. And as NATO troops begin to withdraw from the country, Khan watches the cycle of transformation begin again.<br><br><b>**Winner of the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award 2021**</b><br>
