Echoes of the Buried

About this book

Bedis repeatedly dreams of a deserted Roman bridge, a strangely illuminated well, and a man who seems to belong to another time. In Tagourt, a village shaped by Amazigh storytelling, these disturbing images begin to reach beyond his private life. The unexpected arrival of Uncle Yanis brings the history of political imprisonment into Bedis's family and unsettles what he knows about his origins. Razi Dhouib blends mystery with cultural memory as Bedis searches for his identity amid poverty, political constraints, and attempts to erase the past.
