Anita Anand’s moving account dispels the perception of gloom and despair that has become synonymous with Afghanistan. While acknowledging the cost of war and the price that Afghans continue to pay for it, she finds resilience, courage and the determination to overcome among the people she worked with, for whom the horizon of hope is always visible. Interweaving the political, the recent historical, and the quotidian reality, set against a breathtakingly beautiful landscape, Anand tells a warm and intimate story about a country and people.
