  The boy known as Tor Baz”the black falcon ”wanders between tribes. He meets men who fight under different flags, and women who risk everything if they break their society`s code of honour. Where has he come from, and where will destiny take him?Set in the decades before the rise of the Taliban, Jamil Ahmad`s stunning debut takes us to the essence of human life in the forbidden areas where the borders of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan meet. Today the ˜tribal areas` are often spoken about as a remote region, a hotbed of conspiracies, drone attacks and conflict. In The Wandering Falcon, this highly traditional, honour-bound culture is revealed from the inside for the first time.With rare tenderness and perception, Jamil Ahmad describes a world of custom and cruelty, of love and gentleness, of hardship and survival; a fragile, unforgiving world that is changing as modern forces make themselves known. With the fate-defying story of Tor Baz, he has written an unforgettable novel of insight, compassion and timeless wisdom.Book Reviews
˜Superb. The work of a gifted storyteller who has lived in the world of his fiction, and who offers his readers rare insight, wisdom and”above all”pleasure`”MOHSIN HAMID author of Moth Smoke and The Reluctant Fundamentalist

˜If Granta`s India edition brought to light the brilliant young writer, Arundhati Roy, who won the Booker prize later that year, this collection`s equivalent gem of a find is the older but nonetheless astonishing talent of the hitherto unpublished 79-year-old civil servant.`
- From the Independent in the UK (Chapter one was featured in Granta`s Pakistan issue).isbn-9780670085330
