The Almond Garden of Kabul is a tale of courage, resistance and survival that lingers beyond the final page. It is about a group of women prisoners who risk everything to expose a network of abuse and corruption that reaches the highest levels of power in Afghanistan. Unlike many novels set in Afghanistan, which often focus on war, foreign intervention and women as passive victims, The Almond Garden of Kabul brings to light untold stories from a hidden world, where survival is a battle of wits, resilience and defiance. Rather than centring on external conflicts, it exposes systemic corruption, state-sponsored abuse, and the high-stakes risks of uncovering the truth from within.
