Description

The House of Rust A Novel by Khadija Abdalla Bajaber is a magical realist coming-of-age tale that explores the Swahili and diasporic Hadhrami culture in Mombasa, Kenya. When her father goes missing at sea, a young girl embarks on a fantastical journey to rescue him, guided by a talking scholar's cat and other unexpected companions. As she navigates treacherous waters and confronts the fearsome Baba wa Papa, Aisha must come to terms with the strange and wonderful world that has been unfolding around her. Richly descriptive and written with an imaginative hand, this debut novel is a memorable tale of self-discovery and resilience. With its unique blend of magical realism and cultural insight, The House of Rust offers a captivating reading experience that will linger long after the final page is turned.
