The Road to Solitude

About the Book

David Francis is a man who left the small town of Stinfer and wanted one thing: to completely forget his previous life. Love was the last thing on his mind… but not until he met a woman called Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s interest in David’s stories and her mere presence takes him back in time and reminds him of whom he was: a child who was forced to kill on his tenth birthday, a man who believed in seven gods, a man who believed in the three brother’s myth, a deadly Casanova and, most of all… a man who had a never ending taste for the human heart.

About the Author

Yousuf Azimi was born in the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, in the early nineties. Due to the ongoing war, his family was forced to seek refuge in Pakistan. With his family scattered across the globe and an environment that did not encourage arts, he was very much dependent on reading and writing. At the age of nineteen, he mustered up the courage to stand up and delay his dentistry degree in order to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. By this age, he had finished four short stories and five plays Vexed and tired by the daily ongoing tension in Afghanistan and the daily obstacles that came across and the neighboring country, he wanted to write something that he could get lost into. Something completely fictitious. Thus came the idea of "Road to Solitude".
