Description
But he just might be a God-crazed madman, a malang, a man with the power to channel miracles. And indeed, he does soon begin to transform the lives of the villagers-the brooding headman Ibrahim, his djinn-haunted wife Soraya, the headman’s charismatic sister-in-law, the widowed Khadija… But the isolation of Char Bagh is about to end. The Widow’s Husband, an epic work of historical fiction, is the first novel to tell the story of British imperialism from the Afghan side.
