Atiq Rahimi's reputation for writing war stories of immense drama and intimacy begins with his first novel, Earth and Ashes, a story about fathers and sons and the terrible strain inflicted on families after an Afghan village is destroyed by the Russian army. A Thousand Rooms of Dream and Fear takes place in 1979, as Kabul is going through a period of social and political uipheaval. The Patience Stone is a tale of a woman caring for her brain-damaged husband, who was shot in the neck during a petty conflict.
