Love in exile, by: Atiq Rahimi

Two lives witness a destructive coup: Tom, an Afghan immigrant to France, leaves his wife to stay with his mistress in Amsterdam, and is surprised by her disappearance. And Yusuf, a water seller in Kabul under Taliban rule, lives with his brother's wife, who is an immigrant, and is surprised by feelings growing in him unnoticed. On the same day, the Taliban destroys the Buddha statues in Afghanistan. Two lives parallel and do not meet except by what they evoke of tragedies of exile, memory, love, and freedom.
