Set against the backdrop of war-torn Afghanistan, The Swallows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra paints a haunting and deeply emotional portrait of life under Taliban rule.

📜 The Story

Since the Taliban’s rise to power, the lives of Mosheen and his wife, Zunaira, have been systematically destroyed:

💔 Mosheen, once a man with dreams of becoming a diplomat, is now disillusioned and powerless.
💔 Zunaira, a once-free and educated woman, can no longer walk the streets without being fully veiled, losing every trace of her former identity.
💔 Atiq, a jailer, is slowly consumed by the darkness of his profession, guarding prisoners sentenced to death.
💔 Musarrat, Atiq’s wife, suffers from an incurable illness, caught in the suffocating reality of a world with no mercy.

🔗 Fate weaves these four souls together, leading them down a path of tragedy, passion, and self-sacrifice.
