Description

First published in Atiq Rahimi's adopted country of France, Earth and Ashes is a story of such sparness and power it leaves the reader reeling. Set during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan, it is a fable about war, family, home and tradition. An old man and his grandson sit in a deserted landscape of dusty roads and looming mountains. What are they waiting for? As we watch them, we learn their story. In one short day they have witnessed all the horrors of war: a Russian bomb, a village in flames, the death of everyone they love. Now the old man must carry the news to the coal mine where the boy's father works. Yet his arrival there will spell that his son has betrayed codes of honour that lie deep in the Afghan soul.
