Rezensionen

'"The Sewing Circles of Herat" opens a window on to the deeply unromantic horrors of Taliban-led Afghanistan and, less troubling for the squeamish, tells the remarkable stories of those who dared to defy that particularly vile regime...Lamb writes with pace, conviction and honesty, uncovering both the terrible human cost of the Taliban experiment and the enduring strength of spirit of those who refused to join it.' Justin Marozzi, Sunday Telegraph

'Award-winning foreign correspondent Christina Lamb has written an inspiring and moving account of Afghanistan's plight...Lamb shows that, despite attempts to destroy the country and its culture, its soul remains uncrushed.' Marianne Brace, Independent on Sunday

'A lucid, intimate, haunting book, which sings the song of Lamb's love - and the tragic plight of a defiant and divided nation.' Sunday Times
