Home to a mixed community of Muslims, Copts, Christians, Jews,
Buddhists, Indians, Europeans and Africans, Sur is plunged into
turmoil by an extremist revolution orchestrated by the Righteous
One. An obscure figure, the Righteous One is drawing followers from
the poor and discontented to his jihad. Sur and all its communities
represent the camp of apostasy and must be defeated. The city
begins to prepare itself for the onslaught. Together with other
young women, Khamila is led away to a house for female captives.
Kept in seclusion and guarded by eunuchs, these women are
instructed in the new faith and readied for marriage and sexual
servitude. Despairing of rescue and determined to resist her fate,
Khamila learns she is to be married off to the Righteous One
himself. She appears to be rescued by one of the eunuchs, Lulu, but
awakens from her dream, again and again, to find herself still a
captive. Despite its relative shortness, this poetic novel is rich
in detail and characters, while the author projects contemporary
horrors of sexual violence and slavery back into the past and
fiercely criticizes today's extremist ideologies.
