An act of war reverberates through the life of a young man who flees his homeland of Afghanistan after its occupation by the Red Army in 1979. He finds refuge in the United States, forging a new path as a medical doctor, building a family, and embracing his admiration for his adoptive country, albeit with reservations lingering in the depths of his heart. However, the world changes dramatically on 9/11, ushering in a new era for him and his fellow Americans, albeit in divergent ways. As the United States engages in successive military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, his affection for America begins to wane. Through his firsthand experiences as a volunteer surgeon in these war-torn nations, he witnesses the devastating consequences of conflict, and his disillusionment with his adopted homeland deepens. Amidst this mounting disenchantment, a question looms: Will he be driven to take action? As the protagonist grapples with the profound disillusionment that has settled within him, the reader is swept along a thought-provoking journey. With nuance and subtle introspection, the novel explores the complex nature of war and its transformative power, immersing readers in a tale that delves into the depths of one man’s shifting allegiance and the weighty choices that lie ahead.
