About this product

Product Information

The new vel from Commonwealth Writers Prize winner Marion Molte. Finalist in the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. High in the mountains of war-torn Tajikistan, rebels abduct inspirational UN peace negotiator, Rahul Khan. The lives of his closest friends begin to unravel. Tessa, w married with two children, has never stopped loving Rahul. Lance, a dedicated aid worker, has used Rahul's friendship to avoid facing up to the gaps in his own life. Hugo, his UN supervisor, feels responsible for the abduction and is driven to uncover the truth. Tajik translator Nargis owes Rahul a personal debt but has secrets she cant share. As hopes for Rahul's survival fade, each must find a way to begin again. Set in Central Asia following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Uncertain Light vividly evokes a sense of place and an almost tangible atmosphere. With an authenticity and attention to detail that perfectly capture the nuanced compromises of relationships, Marion Molte deftly weaves the strands of these interlocking worlds into a story of intimacy, hard choices, heartache and courage. 'Her writing has a poet's sensitivity and grace. Poignant and deeply empathetic.' The Scotsman
