Description
As the 19th century draws to a close, Mahmoud Abd El Zahir takes up his post as District Commissioner of Siwa, an Egyptian oasis marked by hostility and warring natives. His arrival is complicated by his Irish wife's presence, which alienates the community, and a local beauty who proves to be a fatal ally. The gulf between occupier and occupied, husband and wife, dreams and reality widens as tensions reach boiling point. This tense and complex novel explores the challenges of colonial rule and the personal costs of love and loyalty in a fragile and unforgiving environment. With its rich historical context and nuanced characters, Bahāʼ Ṭāhir's Sunset Oasis is a gripping and thought-provoking read.
