Description
The City of Joy is also a city of horrors for those who know its true face. In 1931, two sisters arrive in Bousaada with dreams of becoming successful dancers, but their lives are forever changed by the city's ruthless colonial army. When they kill a soldier in self-defense, Fahima and Salima must outsmart the French Colonel determined to uncover the truth. As they try to hide their crime, the sisters become embroiled in a cycle of violence that threatens to destroy them. Risking everything, including their lives and the lives of those they love, they find themselves at the heart of a bitter civilizational clash. This gripping narrative takes you into the Algerian city of Bousaada during the 1930s, where the story of the Nailiya dancers comes alive. A tale of resistance, sisterhood, and the shameful past of two colliding nations, Sand Roses is an extraordinary immersive read that thrusts its reader into a world of tension and conflict.
