Nine-year-old Suleiman is just awakening to the wider world beyond
the games on the hot pavement outside his home and beyond the
loving embrace of his parents. He becomes the man of the house when
his father goes away on business, but then he sees his father,
standing in the market square in a pair of dark glasses. Suddenly
the wider world becomes a frightening place where parents lie and
questions go unanswered. Suleiman turns to his mother, who, under
the cover of night, entrusts him with the secret story of her
childhood.

...Sadly, I didn’t enjoy the novel as much as the beautiful, evocative writing deserved. IN THE COUNTRY OF MEN is a well-written, interesting novel and one that provides a disturbing picture of the old Libya. Reading the harsh realities of life under the tyrant Qaddafi, I'm no longer surprised that the Arab Spring resulted in the gruesome and violent death of a leader who betrayed his people for power. For my full review read <a href="http://www.itch.co.za/?article=680 ">Itch Magazine e-10, MetaText</a>
