Synopsis

Dette er historien om et uvanlig og livslangt vennskap mellom to afghanske kvinner. Historien strekker seg fra den idylliske perioden rundt midten av femtitallet og frem til tiden etter 11 september 2001 i Kabul. Kvinnene er knyttet sammen av tragedie og skjebnen, og de lever gjennom krigen med Sovjetunionen, afghansk borgerkrig og Talibanstyre. Men selv om verden rundt dem bryter sammen og uskylden ødelegges oppdager de at blant ruinene fins det muligheter for håp, mening og verdighet. Drageløperen fins på norsk av samme forfatter. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.
