A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

All eleven stories illuminate the subtleties of Muslim immigrant experience in Britain: comic culture clash and deep spiritual struggles, from the title story, which tells of the tragic death of the narrator's brother; in another, romance is tentative in a Scottish kebab shop. One of the stories, 'The Museum', won the first Caine Prize for African Writing (2000). This reprint includes two new stories which did not appear in the first edition.

Revue de presse :

A moving, gentle, ironic, quietly angry and beautifully written. --Ben Okri on 'The Museum'

Aboulela shows the rich possibilities of living in the West with different, non-Western ways of knowing and thinking. --The Sunday Herald

Leila Aboulela's writing is always beautifully observed, her voice one of restrained lyricism: she is a writer of rare and original talent. --Duncan McLean
