Dispatches is a beautifully-written, innovative and original piece of travel journalism which is well worth a read. What I really like about this book – apart from the descriptions of Kabul, its landscape and its people – is the fact that the author gives women a voice through her writing style. Not just women in Afghanistan, but women everywhere, through being true to the feminine perspective. This is how women perceive a war, and the brutalities and horrors which accompany that war.
