Asne Seierstad, bestselling author of THE BOOKSELLER OF KABUL, began her writing career as a Moscow correspondent; the conflict in Chechnya was the first war she covered. Now ten years later, she returns to Chechnya and discovers that though the world s attention has moved on, the tragedy has continued, killing 10 to 15 per cent of the population and leaving a brutalised society - with a particular toll on its children - in its wake. THE ANGEL OF GROZNY is the story of the journeys Seierstad undertook in secrecy and disguise, and is another landmark book from this brave and brilliant writer.
