| |  | | | In Brief
Part travelogue, part historical evocation, part personal quest, and part reflection on the joys and perils of passage, An Unexpected Light is a remarkable, poignant book about Afghanistan and a heartfelt reflection on the experience of travel itself.
| | | | From The Publisher
Part travel book, part historical evocation, part personal quest, and part reflection on the joys and perils of passage, this book is a stunning account of a journey to a country considered off-limits. Written in beautiful prose, the author covers a wide range of topics, from land mines to Sufism.
