Baghlan Boy
About the book
Discover the poignant journey of Farood Abdali in Baghlan Boy by Michael Crowley, published by The Book Guild Ltd in 2020. This gripping tale unfolds in Baghlan Province, Afghanistan, where an innocent eleven-year-old Farood faces unimaginable tragedy when a drone strike obliterates his family home, claiming his father's life and leaving him and his older brother to fend for themselves.
Fast forward eight years, and we find nineteen-year-old Farood in a prison cell, grappling with a life sentence for a crime he insists he did not commit. With 200 pages of heart-wrenching narrative, Crowley masterfully explores themes of survival, resilience, and the quest for justice amidst the chaos of war. Baghlan Boy is not just a story; it's a reflection on the impact of conflict and the strength of the human spirit. Perfect for readers interested in powerful, thought-provoking literature.
