In her international bestseller The Bookseller of Kabul, Åsne Seierstad studied life in Afghanistan before and after the fall of the Taliban regime. Now twenty years later, the Taliban is back in power, and Seierstad returns with The Land of Many Truths, a book to help us understand the country's present and future, told through the lives of three unforgettable people. In her compelling, intimate and thought-provoking new book, Seierstad introduces us to three people whose lives have been shaped by the fall and rise of the Taliban - Jamila, Bashir and Ariana - as well their families, friends, foes and co-fighters. Jamila is a prominent women's rights activist; Bashi is a Taliban commander; Ariana is a law student who had one semester left when the Taliban came to power. Through their stories - which encompass love, loss, revolution, war as well as the everyday rhythms of everyday family life - we experience what has happened on the ground since the fall of the Taliban in 2001, how the first year of Taliban rule unfolded, and where this leaves Afghans today, and tomorrow.

Seierstad succeeds in transforming the demonised stereotype - a Taliban terrorist - into a living, comprehensible human being' Expressen 'Enthralling and heart-breaking' Dagens Noeringsliv
