A new book from the author of the international bestseller "The Bookseller Of Kabul", which sold over 600,000 copies in its UK edition. Seierstad began her writing career as a Moscow correspondent, and the war in Chechnya was the first conflict she covered. Now, 10 years later, she returns there and discovers that the tragedy has continued, killing 10 to 15% of the population and leaving a brutalised society in its wake. Combining the violent history of the Caucasus with the story of her own journey, it's another landmark book for Seierstad.
