Book ID/图书代码： 06545006B05395

English Summary/英文概要： In the years before the communist coup and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Veronica Doubleday set up home in the ancient city of Herat. At first, her only glimpses of women were as shadows - faceless and voiceless. Gradually, however, she began to meet them in the seclusion of their homes. She formed particular friendships with three young mothers who welcomed her into their lives, teaching her their customs and music and sharing the details of their everyday existence. She witnessed their most personal moments: the births and deaths of their children, their marriages and celebrations, religious holidays, healings, and rituals. In 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. The country Doubleday had come to love changed irreparably and for some years she lost all contact with her friends. Incredibly, during a recent visit to Herat, she met many of them again. This is a remarkable story and a poignant record of life in an Afghanistan that no longer exists.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在铁幕解体和苏联入侵阿富汗之前的几年里，作者维罗妮卡道布尔戴在赫拉特古城安家落户。 起初，她看到的女人都是影子——没有面孔，没有声音。然而，渐渐地，她开始在他们与世隔绝的家里与他们见面。她与三个年轻的母亲建立了特殊的友谊，她们欢迎她进入她们的生活，教她她们的习俗和音乐，并分享她们日常生活的细节。她见证了他们最私人的时刻:孩子的出生和死亡，他们的婚姻和庆典，宗教节日，治疗和仪式。1979年，苏联入侵阿富汗。道布尔戴爱上的这个国家发生了不可挽回的变化，有好几年她与朋友们失去了联系。令人难以置信的是，在最近一次访问(阿富汗西北部城市)赫拉特时，她又见到了他们中的许多人。这是一个非凡的故事，一个关于阿富汗生活的令人心酸的记录。

维罗妮卡道布尔戴是一位受人尊敬的民族音乐学家。她继续表演她在阿富汗学到的歌曲，并经常写关于这个国家的文章。这本书写完后，她曾两次回到赫拉特，分别是1994年和2004年。(Sandy)
