The Carpet Weaver
The Carpet Weaver | Nemat Sadat
2 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
Afghanistan, 1977. Kanishka Nurzada, the son of a leading carpet seller, falls in love with his friend Maihan, with whom he shares his first kiss at the age of sixteen. Their romance must be kept secret in a nation where the death penalty is meted out to those deemed to be kuni, a derogatory term for gay men. And when war comes to Afghanistan, it brings even greater challenges-and danger-for the two lovers. From the cultural melting pot of Kabul to the horrors of an internment camp in Pakistan, Kanishka's arduous journey finally takes him to the USA in the desperate search for a place to call home-and the fervent hope of reuniting with his beloved Maihan. But destiny seems to have different plans in store for him. Intimate and powerful, The Carpet Weaver is a sweeping tale of a young gay man's struggle to come of age and find love in the face of brutal persecution.

The only thing I love about this book is the ending🫂❤️A very proud ending. Carpet weaver takes you to a journey of sweet romance then fear, danger survival
And the harsh reality of not accepting yourself and living in dark.
And also when you accept the reality and live a proud and loud life .

Wow! I had goosebumps all over my body after reading this book! What a journey for readers, like me! I had high hopes for this novel and yet it exceeded all my expectations. Nemat Sadat writes so beautifully, rich in imagery and action, I can't help highlighting so many sentences and phrases. THE CARPET WEAVER reveals an emotional depth - a meditation on the longings of the heart, a heartfelt exploration of arts, identity, and 👇

But at the heart of this book is the rumination of what constitute or who is a real man? Is it defined by our culture and religion? Or do we get to define it the way we truly and authentically live our lives? 👇 3y
thevagabondlawyer This book is sad, often too brutal and explicit, but it is hopeful, and with a rare healing power. From Afghanistan to Pakistan and to America, be ready to swept away! 👏 3y
