Von Händler/Antiquariat, BuySomeBooks [52360437], Las Vegas, NV, U.S.A.
Kindle Edition. 360 pages. A mysterious beggar wanders into the tiny Afghan village of Char Bagh, a hundred miles north of Kabul. Soon he reveals himself to be much more than a mere beggar: he is a God-crazed beggara malang, a man who channels miracles. The malang transforms the lives of the villagers--of Ibrahim the spiritually tormented young headman, of Soraya, the headmans fragile, haunted wife; of the widow Khadijas, the headmans powerful sister-in-law. But soon enough, the Malangs influence is swamped by greater forces: the year is 1840, and the British have just invaded Afghanistan. The Widows Husband is an epic story of British imperialism as seen from the Afghan side. It takes readers from the soot-blackened kitchens of village compounds to the intricate labyrinth of Kabuls Grand Bazaar, from the walled compounds and elegant dinner parties of the doomed British community to the icy slopes of the Hindu Kush mountains, where the First Afghan-British War came to its horrific climax.

Three years after the 1841 British occupation of Kabul, news of the invasion still hasn't reached the remote village of Char Bagh. Here, the biggest excitement of the season is a mysterious vagabond who has wandered onto a nearby hillside. Is he a madman? Perhaps. But he just might be a God-crazed madman, a malang, a man with the power to channel miracles. And indeed, he does soon begin to transform the lives of the villagers-the brooding headman Ibrahim, his djinn-haunted wife Soraya, the headman's charismatic sister-in-law, the widowed Khadija... But the isolation of Char Bagh is about to end. The Widow's Husband, an epic work of historical fiction, is the first novel to tell the story of British imperialism from the Afghan side.
