The End of Manners

The End of Manners is a thrilling story of friendship, human frailty, and war by the critically acclaimed author of Rules of the Wild.

Maria Galante and Imo Glass are on assignment in Afghanistan: outgoing Imo to interview girls who’ve attempted suicide rather than be married off to older men, and shy, perfectionist Maria to photograph them. But in a culture in which women shroud their faces and suicide is taboo, to photograph these women puts all of them in harm’s way. Before the assignment is over, Maria will have to decide if it’s more important to succeed at her work—and please Imo—or to follow her own moral compass.
