About this book

A village of palm groves, fields, and familiar labour hides an old crime beneath its apparent calm. Aunt Sabra the midwife, Halabi the digger, and other figures become connected when human remains expose a disappearance buried by time. Abdel Aleem Mubarak combines rural detail with mystery, examining revenge, loyalty, ambition, loneliness, and the way one discovery can redirect several intertwined lives.
