Claire’s Reviews > The Finest Hotel in Kabul: A People's History of Afghanistan > Status Update

A careful account of seeing events through the eyes and ears of a hotel and it's many guests and changing staff, that avoids a first person perspective of the author who was there reporting on events, getting to know these characters. It's a pity that missing thread isn't more present, to hold it together.

Life and political turning points in Kabul as learned by an international journalist, told through the lens of local employees of the Intercontinental hotel. A narrative history.
