My third by this author.. its a sprawling epic of the first Afghan war.. it's a good read! And muy different to the northern clemency and the emporer waltz.. maybe a bit scattershot? But, a damn fine trip anyway..

In Sweden in front of a fireplace with snow outside I read this book 95 about the English presence in Afghanistan in the 19th century and the dubious role they play over there. Kabul is described vividly, as are all the English and Afghan characters who come to life in this novel.
Overall an enjoyable read, although I don‘t think I would recommend it to my friends. #booker #manbooker
