Now twenty years later, the Taliban is back in power, and Seierstad returns with The Afghans, a book to help us understand Afghanistans past, present and future, told through the lives of three unforgettable people. In her compelling, intimate and thought-provoking new book, Seierstad introduces us to three people whose lives have been shaped by the fall and rise of the Taliban - Jamila, Bashir and Ariana - as well their families, friends, foes and co-fighters. Jamila is a womens rights activist; Bashir is a Taliban commander; Ariana is a law student who had one semester left when the Taliban came to power. The stories of these three Afghans encompass love, loss, revolt and war as well as the everyday rhythms of family life. Through them, we experience and come to understand the lead-up to the Taliban retaking power in 2021, how the first year of Taliban rule unfolded, and where this leaves Afghans today, and tomorrow.Praise for Asne Seierstad:An intimate portrait of Afghani people quite unlike any other Sunday Times on The Bookseller of Kabul Has the feel of a non-fiction novel - irresistible New York Times on One of Us Hauntingly written, this book is both a masterpiece and a masterclass in investigative journalism Christina Lamb on Two Sisters Meticulously documented, full of drama Kate Adie on Two Sisters Author Biography Asne Seierstad was born in 1970 and studied Russian, Spanish and the History of Philosophy at Oslo University.
