"The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif" traces the extraordinary story of an Afghani refugees journey from shepherd boy in the mountains of northern Afghanistan and his flight from torture and certain death by the Taliban, to owner of a successful traditional rug shop in Melbourne. His story begins in the infamous Woomera Detention Centre in the remote desert country of central Australia. This is the first book-length account of an asylum seeker in Australia to be exquisitely captured in his own voice. From the compelling opening sentence to the beautiful final chapter, Najafs integrity, his extraordinary optimism and his generosity of spirit will win the hearts and minds of all readers.
