Description
A miracle sets off a chain reaction in Balaal, a polyglot city ruled by a dictator. A homeless boy witnesses a whale being washed up on the beach, and with it, a freak wave that brings about an omen of change. The boy is adopted by a washerwoman, and together they gather a disparate group of rebels to challenge the regime. As the story unfolds, pitched battles, farcical trials, rooftop escapes, and sun-parched wanderings in the wilderness become the backdrop for their struggle against oppression. Looming over the characters is the legend of Nazarâe, a giant wave that will one day annihilate everyone and everything in the city. This novel combines elements of adventure and parable to explore issues of justice, much like the works of Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa.
