Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Translated by Marilyn Booth Longlisted for the 2023 Dublin Literary Award An extraordinary novel from a Man Booker International Prize-winning author that follows one young Omani woman as she builds a life for herself in Britain and reflects on the relationships that have made her from a remarkable writer who has constructed her own novelistic form (James Wood,The New Yorker). Alharthi makes lyrical shifts between past and present, memory and folklore, oneiric surrealism and grimy realism. Guardian [A] stirring tale of a woman who battles every social and religious constraint.The juxtaposition with the narrators reflections on modern life and the speed of change is brilliantly judged in Marilyn Booths agile translation from Arabic. The Observer Zuhour, an Omani student at a British university, is caught between the past and the present. As she attempts to form friendships and assimilate in Britain, she cant help but ruminate on the relationships that have been central to her life. Most prominent is her strong emotional bond with Bint Aamir, a woman she always thought of as her grandmother, who passed away just after Zuhour left the Arabian Peninsula. As the historical narrative of Bint Aamirs challenged circumstances unfurls in captivating fragments, so too does Zuhours isolated and unfulfilled present, one narrative segueing into another as time slips, and dreams mingle with memories.
