Shortlisted for both the Man Booker Prize and the Guardian First
Book Award, and published here as a Penguin Essential for the first
time. 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.
