During the American war in Afghanistan, eleven-year-old Fawad has witnessed the death of his father and brother, and the abduction of his sister. His widowed mother finds work in Kabul as a housekeeper for a Western woman named Georgie--a woman Fawad soon begins to trust and love. This trust is threatened when he learns that Georgie has entered into a love affair with Haji Khan, one of the troubled country's most feared warlords. Andrea Busfield--for years, an editor of a Kabul newspaper--has written a debut novel with a deep understanding of the complexities of life in post-9/11 Kabul. Though marked by the violence of its setting, born under a million shadow is perhaps most remarkable for its sense of humor, humanity, and hope.
