In "A Fort of Nine Towers," Qais Akbar Omar recounts his childhood in pre-Taliban Kabul, where he cherished simple joys like flying kites with his grandfather. As civil war erupts, his family faces escalating dangers that force them to flee their home for the safety of an old fort. Omar's memoir intertwines poignant memories of hardship with moments of beauty, enriched by Afghan folktales and poetry, creating a moving narrative of resilience and hope.
