Set across contemporary Afghanistan, 99 Nights in Logar follows twelve-year-old Marwand after a reunion with the family's fierce guard dog goes wrong. When the animal bolts into the night and Marwand pays a painful price, he resolves to track the dog down and prove he belongs.

The narrative blends sharp, witty voice with moments of lyricism and quiet tenderness. As Marwand travels between villages and compounds, the novel explores identity, belonging, and how family stories shape a young life. Its tone moves between humor and danger while keeping a strong sense of place.

Longlisted for the PEN/Hemingway Award and the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature, the book will appeal to readers of character-driven, voice-led literary fiction and coming-of-age adventures.

  • 12-year-old protagonist
  • Lyrical, voice-driven storytelling
  • Longlisted for major literary awards
