This moving and poignant work gives the listener a rare insight into the contented 'milk and honey' life of simple Afghan family before the civil war ripped their country apart. The lives and centuries-old livelihood of farmers, craftsman and small business owners were destroyed in just weeks and months. As a member of the Hazara tribe, hated and targeted by the Taliban, Najaf was forced to flee the brutal attacks on his people when the Northern Alliance fell to the advancing Taliban insurgents. His flight to Pakistan, from there to Indonesia, then by boat to Australia, ends with incarceration in Woomera, where the story begins.
