Seierstad is a sharp and often lyrical observer." -- New York Times Book Review "An admirable, revealing portrait of daily life in a country that Washington claims to have liberated but does not begin to understand. Seierstad writes of individuals, but her message is larger." -- Washington Post Book World "A compelling portrait of a country at a crossroads - desperate for tranquillity, factionalized beyond imagination, struggling both to uphold tradition and to modernize, hoping to prove to itself and the rest of the world that it knows peace and stability." -- Boston Globe "An unusually intimate glimpse of a traditional Afghan family... Seierstad imbues a grim story with language of desolate beauty." -- Entertainment Weekly "A compelling book... Seierstad infiltrated a world most readers will never see." -- Denver Post Review Quote "The most intimate description of an Afghan household ever produced by a Western journalist. . . . Seierstad is a sharp and often lyrical observer."-- Richard McGill Murphy, New York Times Book Review Details ISBN0316159417 Author Asne Seierstad Short Title BOOKSELLER OF KABUL Pages 320 Language English ISBN-10 0316159417 ISBN-13 9780316159418 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY B Year 2004 Audience Age 14-18 Residence NO Birth 1970 Imprint Back Bay Books DOI 10.1604/9780316159418 Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2004-10-26 NZ Release Date 2004-10-26 US Release Date 2004-10-26 UK Release Date 2004-10-26 Publisher Little, Brown & Company Publication Date 2004-10-26 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
