Details: (c) Åsne Seierstad 2002; Pub Virago 2004; translated Ingrid Christophersen; ISBN 1-84408-047-1
Verdict: The bookseller of Kabul is an uneven piece of reportage.
Reasons for reading it: Everyone was making a big fuss about it when it came out, and the subject matter seemed interesting.
How it came into my hands: Brighton charity shops.
