Description
Saleh Omar arrives in England on a late November afternoon, carrying a small bag containing his most precious possession - a mahogany box with incense. His life has changed dramatically since leaving his home in Zanzibar, and silence is his only protection. In a seaside town, he meets Latif Mahmud, someone from his past, and a story begins to unravel. As the story unfolds, themes of love, betrayal, seduction, and possession emerge. The narrative explores the struggles of a people seeking stability in the face of turmoil. Through the characters' experiences, the complexities of their situation are revealed. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous time.
