It's spring 1990 in a dingy small-town Moroccan bar. Zina is
serving drinks when a mysterious man approaches her. The man gives
Zina a handwritten note from her husband, Aziz, who disappeared the
day after their wedding, eighteen years ago, after participating in
the failed 1972 coup against King Hassan II. Zina has spent the
past eighteen years searching for Aziz, who has been imprisoned in
inhuman conditions in a solitary cell inside a secret desert jail.
Will Zina finally find Aziz? Moving back and forth between 1990 and
the past, A Rare Blue Bird That Flies with Me recounts the painful
circumstances that brought Zina and Aziz together and the torture
after the 1972 coup that tore them apart. Told from the perspective
of several narrators-including Zina, Aziz, Aziz's two
jailors-Youssef Fadel's novel is a masterful history of modern
Morocco.
