Description
Azel's dream of crossing the Strait of Gibraltar becomes reality when he meets Miguel, a wealthy Spaniard, and leaves behind his life in Tangier. He joins Miguel in Barcelona, but what they find there is far from the promise of a new beginning.
This novel of seduction and betrayal, deception and disillusionment explores the complexities of identity and belonging as Azel and his sister Kenza navigate their new lives in Spain. As they confront the realities of their past, they are forced to confront who they really are.
