Description
Salim's life is marked by secrets and silence. His father's departure leaves him feeling confused and ashamed, and his mother's absences with a mysterious man only add to the mystery. When his uncle, a senior diplomat, offers Salim an escape to London, the teenager travels to college, but nothing prepares him for the harsh realities of this new city.
As Salim struggles to find his place, he must confront the darkness at the heart of his family and the world around him. With unsentimental precision and profound insight, Abdulrazak Gurnah evokes the immigrant experience, revealing the complexities of isolation, identity, belonging, and betrayal.
Gravel Heart is a powerful story of exile, migration, and the human condition, one that will resonate with readers who appreciate nuanced and thought-provoking fiction.
