The Storyteller's Daughter

Saira Shah


Shah grew up in Kent but her father (the storyteller of the title) never let her forget her Afghani roots. This is the story of her return to Afghanistan to try to understand her country of origin. She makes a documentary, and part of the time has to travel in disguise. A fascinating story, even if sometimes the author seems somewhat foolhardy, taking crazy risks.
