Their good intentions, though, can't keep them out of harm's way. From the wilds of Afghanistan to the heart of the family left behind--their blind father, haunted by the death of his wife and by the mistakes he may have made in the name of Islam and nationhood; Jeo's wife, whose resolve helps keep the household running; and her superstitious mother--the narrative takes us on an extraordinary journey. In language as lyrical as it is piercing, in scenes at once beautiful and harrowing, \u003ci\u003eThe Blind Man's Garden\u003c\/i\u003e unflinchingly describes a topical yet timeless world, powerfully evoking a place where the line between enemy and friend is indistinct, and where the desire to return home burns brightest of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eNADEEM ASLAM is the author of three highly acclaimed novels: \u003ci\u003eSeason of the Rainbirds\u003c\/i\u003e, which won a Betty Trask Award and was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize; \u003ci\u003eMaps for Lost Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Kiriyama Prize, short-listed for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book; and most recently, \u003ci\u003eThe Wasted Vigil\u003c\/i\u003e.
