Críticas:

"A fine evocation of a crucial era in Afghanistan suffused with pent-up violence." -- Kirkus Reviews "Kirkus Reviews"

Providing a glimpse into Afghanistan just prior to Russian or American occupation, Shansab gives his readers an idea of the overwhelming complexity and corruption that can occur when unlimited power falls into the hands of a very few men. -- Recommended by U. S. Review of Books "U. S. Review of Books"

Reseña del editor:

International Book Award Finalist--Multicultural Fiction Hollywood Book Festival Honorable Mention Best General Fiction Paris Book Festival Honorable Mention-Best General Fiction Amsterdam Book Festival Honorable Mention- Best General Fiction Readers' Favorite International Book Award-Honorable Mention-Best Fiction-Culture "A fine evocation of a crucial era in Afghanistan suffused with pent-up violence."—Kirkus Reviews Silent Trees is an enthralling political and personal fiction that gives the reader what Shansab calls "a glimpse inside the soul of Afghanistan and the dangers of the unchecked pursuit of power." Written in English for a Western audience, its themes are as much about the human condition as they are about Afghanistan. And if "fiction is the best tool" to convey them meaningfully to a wide audience, as Shansab argues, then the author has succeeded wonderfully.— Masatoshi Asaoka, Diplomatic Courier Providing a glimpse into Afghanistan just prior to Russian or American occupation, Shansab gives his readers an idea of the overwhelming complexity and corruption that can occur when unlimited power falls into the hands of a very few men. —Recommended by U. S. Review of Books
