Críticas:
"Dazzling. . . . As affecting as it is provocative." "Los Angeles Times Book Review" "A tour de force." "San Francisco Chronicle" "Poetic, sensuous, precisely descriptive and lavishly allusive. . . . Important and memorable. . .deeply satisfying." "The Washington Times" "An extraordinary work . . . entirely, and unmistakably, the product of a wholly original mind." "The Herald" (London) "A superb achievement, a book in which every detail is nuanced, every piece of drama carefully choreographed, even minor characters carefully drawn." Colm Toibin, author of Mothers and Sons "Aslam reveals-artfully and heartbreakingly-a psychology at war with itself . . . His prose is richly atmospheric, his tone engagingly introspective." "The New York Times Book Review" "A work of great courage . . . . A filigree of quests for loves that never were, of passions cut short and of romances that are about to be. I was heartbroken when the dense, dark tapestry was finished." "The Independent "(UK) "From the Hardcover edition."
Reseña del editor:
'This land and its killing epochs.'
Nadeem Aslam's dazzling new novel takes place in modern-day Afghanistan. A Russian woman named Lara arrives at the house of Marcus Caldwell, an Englishman and widower living in an old perfume factory in the shadow of the Tora Bora mountains. It is possible that Marcus's daughter, Zameen, may have known Lara's brother, a Soviet soldier who disappeared in the area many years previously. But like Marcus's wife, Zameen is dead; a victim of the age in which she was born.
In the days that follow, further people will arrive at the house: David Town and James Palantine, two Americans who have spent much of their adult lives in the area, for their respective reasons; Dunia, a young Afghan teacher; and Casa, a radicalised young man intent on his own path.
The stories and histories that unfold - interweaving and overlapping, and spanning nearly a quarter of a century - tell of the terrible afflictions that have plagued Afghanistan. A work of deepest humanity, The Wasted Vigil offers a timely portrait of this region, of love during war and conflict. At once angry, unflinching and memorably beautiful, it marks Nadeem Aslam as a world writer of major importance.
