{"product_id":"9781784708023","title":"Shadow City: A Woman Walks Kabul by Taran Khan","description":"'A fabulous piece of writing . . . I recommend it unreservedly' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'A brilliant book' CHRISTINA LAMB, author of Farewell KabulOne of the first things I was told when I arrived in Kabul was never to walk...   When journalist Taran Khan arrives in Kabul, she uncovers a place that defies her expectations. Her wanderings with other Kabulis reveal a fragile city in a state of flux: stricken by near-constant war, but flickering with the promise of peace; governed by age-old codes but experimenting with new modes of living.   Her walks take her to the unvisited tombs of the dead, and to the land of the living - like the booksellers, archaeologists, film-makers and entrepreneurs who are remaking this 3,000-year-old city. And as NATO troops begin to withdraw from the country, Khan watches the cycle of transformation begin again.   **Winner of the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award 2021****Winner of the Tata Literature Live First Book Award for Non-Fiction 2020**'Powerfully evocative' Kapka Kassabova'A wonderful journey' Atiq Rahimi'Khan illuminates Kabul's life-affirming humanity' TLS;  288 pages; Published: 04\/02\/2021\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781784708023\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457248014718,"sku":"9781784708023","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781784708023.jpg?v=1761336047","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781784708023","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
