A review by anna_hepworth
The Blind Man's Garden by Nadeem Aslam
Did not finish book.
I got about a third of the way through this before the library requested it back, so my review is for the first third.
This is a beautifully written book, but being both densely written and covering some pretty difficult topics (including but not limited to murder by neglect, murder by deliberately placing in the line of fire, attempts at forced abortion) I read it very slowly. Set in Pakistan and Afghanistan it focuses on one family, where the adult son goes off to join the Taliban.
