Today, NPR’s Morning Edition and WNYC’s Leonard Lopate Show feature The Dressmaker of Khair Khana by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon (Harper, ISBN 9780061732379). PW’s review called the book “an exciting, engrossing one that reads like a novel, complete with moments of tension and triumph, plus well-researched detail on daily life in Kabul under Taliban rule…. a fascinating story that touches on family, gender, business, and politics and offers inspiration through the resourceful, determined woman at its heart.”
The Leonard Lopate Show also interviews James Peck, author of Ideal Illusions: How the U.S. Government Co-opted Human Rights (Metropolitan, ISBN 978-0805083286); and Ted Danson, author of Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them (Rodale, ISBN 978-1605292625).
