Shabnam

Shabnam is Syed Mujtaba Ali’s love story set in Afghanistan, drawn from his time in Kabul that also produced Deshe Bideshe. Where Deshe Bideshe is a travel memoir, Shabnam is fiction, but it carries the same warm cosmopolitan voice and the same affectionate eye for Afghan life.

For readers who loved Deshe Bideshe and want more of that Kabul, this is the natural next book.
