Celestial Bodies

Set in the village of al-Awafi in Oman, the story follows three sisters—Mayya, Asma, and Khawla—and explores their personal journeys amid Oman’s transformation from a traditional, colonial-influenced society to its modern-day context. The novel weaves their experiences into a broader narrative of societal change, family, losses, and love. Elegantly crafted and tightly structured, it offers a nuanced look at a country's evolving identity through the lives of one family.
