This enchanting novel of interwoven legends burns with both gentle
intelligence and human warmth
This extraordinary book, derived from the long oral tradition of
storytelling in Afghanistan, presents a mesmerizing portrait of a
people who triumph with intelligence and humor over the oppressions
of political dictators and an unforgiving landscape.
A musician conjures stones to rise in the air and teaches his art
to a mute child. Master Poisoner, Ghoroob of Mashad, has so
perfected his craft that it is considered an honor to die from his
meals. These are stories of magic and wonder in which ordinary
people endure astonishing extremes in a world of bloodshed and
brotherhood, miracles and catastrophes.
With lyrical wit and profound simplicity, "The Honey Thief
"reveals an Afghanistan of greater richness and humanity than is
conveyed in newspaper headlines; an Afghanistan not of failure and
despair, but of resilience and fulfillment.
