Présentation de l'éditeur :
Revue de presse :
The thrilling, heartbreaking story of a young Afghan boy coming of age in a country at war.
Aziz and his older brother Ali live in a village amid the pine forests and endless mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Their family is poor, but inside their mud-walled home, the family has stability, love, and routine.
But when a convoy of armed men suddenly arrives in the village, their parents disappear and their world is shattered. In order to ensure his and his brother's survival Aziz must join the Special Lashkar - a US-funded militia always hungry for Afghan recruits - and so he departs for the untamed border. No longer a boy, but not yet a man, Aziz struggles to understand his place in a conflict both savage and entirely contrived. Will he embrace the brutality of war or leave it behind, and risk placing his brother - and a young woman he comes to love - in jeopardy?
Green on Blue is a gripping, morally complex debut novel, and an astonishing feat of empathy and imagination about boys caught in a deadly conflict.
Utterly absorbing . . . Ackerman has spun a morally complex tale of revenge, loyalty, and brotherly love. --Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner
Haunting . . . Powerful . . . a bone-deep understanding of the toll that a seemingly endless war has taken on ordinary Afghans. --New York Times
Full of insight, compassion, and extraordinarily beautiful writing. I could not recommend this novel more highly. --Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds
