One of the first journalists into Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks, Irris Makler set out alone to cover a war and discovered an even more enduring story about women caught in the crossfire. Risking her life in a war zone without the back-up or safety net of a major network was one thing, but finding herself in the land where women were virtually invisible opened a window onto another world...

...Whether she is creating her own dusty Afghan version of Babette's feast, bedding down above an unexploded bomb, crossing the treacherous Hindu Kush or rediscovering the simple joys of gossip and girltalk in an Afghan home 'beauty salon', Makler never loses heart, her unerring eye for a good story - or her sense of humour.

Released into the wild on the southbound Illawarra line train during evening peakhour on 4 June AEST.

The book was left for me in a Cronulla train, after reading it I took it to the Blue Mountains and left it on a bench outside a Motel in Katomba, where 2 Norwegian people where staying, in hope the book will travel the world. As I come from Denmark myself.
A very good ideá.
