The Finest Hotel In Kabul by Lyse Doucet
The Finest Hotel in Kabul uses the story of the Inter-Continental Kabul to explore Afghanistan’s modern history through intimate portraits of the people who kept the hotel running. Drawing on Lyse Doucet’s decades of reporting and personal experience inside the hotel, the book follows long-serving staff, a pioneering female chef, and younger Afghans whose lives reflect the country’s hopes, losses and resilience. It is a human-focused, spoiler-free portrait of everyday life amid ongoing political upheaval.
