En The Wasted Vigil, Nadeem Aslam entrelaza cinco vidas aparentemente inconexas para crear una historia luminosa ambientada en el Afganistán contemporáneo. Marcus, un expatriado inglés que estuvo casado con una doctora afgana; David, un ex espía estadounidense; Lara, de San Petersburgo, buscando rastros de su hermano, un soldado ruso desaparecido años antes; Casa, un joven afgano cuyo odio a los estadounidenses lo ha sumido en las profundidades del fanatismo; y James, un soldado de las Fuerzas Especiales estadounidenses. Aslam revela los caminos entrelazados que estos personajes han recorrido, construyendo un retrato oportuno e íntimo de los complejos lazos que nos unen y las guerras que continúan destrozándonos.
