    A BED OF RED FLOWERS: In Search of My Afghanistan
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2013*

Nelofer Pazira's elegy for her family and her ruined nation make for compelling reading.  Very highly recommended for anyone seeking deeper knowledge of this once-beautiful place and its people, people very much like anyone reading it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Stunning Story Elegantly Written
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2009*

Were we able to provide fractional ratings, this book would merit 4 1/2 stars.  It is beautifully and sensitively written and exudes credibility.  I have more than passing familiarity with this region of the world and her story is completely consistent with my own understanding and experience.  Nelofer relates the story of her family's journey spiritually, politically, emotionally and geographically from pre-Communist Kabul to democratic Canada via "indeterminately governed" Pakistan.  It also describes her return to the region to make a film about life there.  Clearly related are excesses both in the Communist system and in a radical Islamic dominated system.  The overland journey they take in response to the oppressive Communist government in Afghanistan is a remarkable piece of storytelling.  Some western readers may find certain parts of the book what they consider a "stretch" but I firmly believe that is due to cultural difference and not to the author's credibility.  In other words, most westerners cannot imagine the eastern response to certain situations.  Without being trite, cliché, or "preachy" this book clearly demonstrates what the courageous people of Central Asia are dealing with and what a blessing it is to live in a democratic society however imperfect that society sometimes is. I highly recommend it.

    A wonderful, eloquent must-read book
  

*by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2005*

This is one of the most eloquent books I have read in a while.  Nelofer succeeds in writing about the tragic topic of Afghanistan with much grace and insight.  I found her perspectives to be thought-provoking and refreshing on the subject of Afghanistan:  it's wars, it's people and it's history.  One of the best books I have read in a long, long time.
