In this masterwork by the 2021 Nobel Prize winner in Literature, two immigrants confront their intertwined pasts as they navigate life in a new country. Saleh Omar, an asylum seeker from Zanzibar, and Latif Mahmud, a solitary professor in London, find their conflicting stories about their homeland laid bare upon meeting in an English seaside town. As their narratives unravel, deeper themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for stability emerge amidst the chaos of their experiences.
