Sammar is a young Sudanese widow, working as an Arabic translator
at a British university. Following the sudden death of her husband,
and estranged from her young son, she drifts, grieving and
isolated. Life takes a positive turn when she finds herself falling
in love with Rae, a Scottish academic. To Sammar, he seems to come
from another world and another culture, yet they are drawn to each
other. "The Translator" is a story about love, both human and
divine. Leila Aboulela's first novel, first published in 1999, was
longlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction and the IMPAC Dublin
Award, and was shortlisted for the Saltire Prize. It has
subsequently appeared in editions worldwide.
