Description

Three protagonists, each grappling with their own illusions: a beautiful young Iraqi woman, a Moroccan prostitute claiming to be a Saudi princess, and a young Lebanese man with a dancing monkey. Each falls in love with London, each navigating the complexities of survival in a city that offers love, money, and freedom at a high price: a double-edged sword.

Hilarious, captivating, thrilling, and moving: this is Hanan al-Shaykh’s novel, which not only juxtaposes the contradictions of Arabs and English but also bridges the gap between literary and popular narrative.
