"The Bookseller of Kabul" [ama]by Norwegian journalist and part-time authour Åsne Seierstad has passed one million copies sold, as was nominated for the British Book Awards - as part of Richard and Judy Read of the year. Not bad for a very personal take on life and love in Kabul after the fall of Taliban.
Currently she is back in Serbia to update (once more) her first book "With their back against the world" Not translated to English yet, but out in German so maybe come fall she will return to Iraq and update her newest book about her stay in Baghdad before and during the "Second Gulf War" (you know the one, that ended last year...) She sure gets around to some quaint turistic spots the fair miss Seierstad (on the left)
...and the sun seems much brighter with newly painted walls...
