As a young man growing up under communism in South Yemen, Imran
finds himself drawn to Hawiya, the daughter of a high-ranking
official in the Marxist party. He departs Aden, the seaport city of
his childhood, to study literature in Paris. Years later he returns
to Yemen and meets Hawiya again--only to find that she is now a
niqab-wearing Salafist, calling on people to join the conservative
Islamist movement. Set against the backdrop of Yemeni history,
Habib Abdelrab Sarori's Arabic Booker long-listed novel traces one
man's lifelong search for love and his own political ideology.
