Places in Between, The

In this non-fiction travelogue, Scotsman Rory Stewart recounts his journey on foot through high mountain passes and war-ravaged villages of Afghanistan, mere months after the September 11 attacks. His knowledge of Persian dialects and Muslim customs enables him to communicate and survive as he treks in the footsteps of Afghanistan’s first Moghul emperor. Accompanied by a rescued bull mastiff, Stewart sleeps in villages and navigates the complex cultural, historical and geographical landscape.
