Taroon once served as an interpreter
for the U.S. military in Afghanistan. Now it is 2013, and the Americans —
and their promises of safety — have begun to withdraw. Taroon spends his
days in hiding, a target of the increasingly powerful Taliban. On the eve
of his son’s birth, he must remain in his sister’s apartment, or risk his
life to see his child. With shattering precision, Sylvia Khoury’s tense
drama traces the human cost and the legacy of our longest war.
