Two builders. One unfinished boat. A past they must face together.
When Alya learns that her grandfather's workshop must close, she has eight weeks to find a future for the unfinished boat that has stood at its centre for decades.
To Hamdan, the vessel represents years of craftsmanship and a dream he never completed. But as Alya searches through old drawings and records, she discovers that the boat was never his alone.
Bashir, the man who once built alongside her grandfather, has his own claim to its history. Their partnership ended with an unpaid debt and a broken promise that neither man has forgotten.
Determined to save the boat, Alya brings the two families back into contact. Yet restoring the vessel will demand more than skilled hands. Old grievances must be acknowledged, difficult decisions made, and trust rebuilt through actions rather than words.
As the work progresses, Alya must also confront a question of her own: how much of her life should she sacrifice to put other people's pasts right?
Set in Qatar, The Boat Built for Two is a moving contemporary novel about family, friendship, craftsmanship, accountability and the courage to begin again.
