An outstanding novel exploring the relationship between a young American woman and a refugee girl. Northern Afghanistan, 2001.

Here she meets Elaine, an American woman waiting for her doctor husband to return from the front. Najmah joins Elaine's refugee school under the persimmon tree, until, sure that both their families are dead, Elaine tries to persuade her to go to America.
