A Thousand Rooms of Dream and Fear Paperback / softback
by Atiq Rahimi
Paperback / softback
Description
Kabul, 1979. A student wakes in an unfamiliar house, battered and bruised.
He gradually recovers his mind to discover that returning from a night out he was brutally attacked by soldiers and left to die. Farhad, the tragic hero of this nightmarish tale, realises that he can now never return home: to do so would be to risk the lives of his family.
As he waits for an answer to his plight he learns the tragic story of the woman who has saved him, endangering her own life in the process, and begins to feel an impossible and forbidden love for her - a love that embodies an angry compassion for the suffering of Afghanistan's women, and the yearning for a lost home.
