Items related to The Wasted Vigil
A Russian woman named Lara arrives in Afghanistan at the house of Marcus Caldwell, an Englishman and widower living in the shadow of the Tora Bora mountains. Marcus's daughter, Zameen, may have known Lara's brother, a Soviet soldier who disappeared in the area many years previously. But like Marcus's wife, Zameen is dead; a victim of the age in which she was born.
In the days that follow, further people arrive at the house: two Americans who have spent much of their adult lives in the area; a young Afghan teacher; and a radicalised young man intent on his own path. And Nadeem Aslam paints a moving, beautiful and powerful portrait of a land and a people torn apart through love and war.

Review:
'In this sprawling epic of a novel, Nadeem Aslam's poetic narrative takes in the explosive realities of Afghanistan. He navigates this minefield with sharp reflexes and a rare poise ... [It] will be read as a novel about Afghanistan, but it should be read as a book about love.'
Book Description:
The Wasted Vigil by Nadeem Aslam, the prize-winning author of Maps for Lost Lovers, is a devastatingly moving and beautiful novel of family secrets, forbidden love and the tragedy and consequences of war.
