Description
Bitter Orange Tree
A profound exploration of social status, wealth, desire, and female agency, this novel follows Zuhour as she builds a life for herself in Britain and reflects on the relationships that have shaped her. Translated by Marilyn Booth, it is a stirring tale of a woman who battles every social and religious constraint.
With lyrical shifts between past and present, memory and folklore, oneiric surrealism and grimy realism, Jokha Alharthi's latest novel is a captivating exploration of identity, belonging, and the complexities of human connection. A remarkable work from a Man Booker International Prize-winning author.
