Aprašymas
Set in the arid heartland of Wadi al-Dawasir, The Divers of the Sands conjures a vanished world of desert communities bound to the rhythm of the pearl-diving seasons, the long journeys to the Gulf and the return to a punishing homeland.
Across a large cast and three feuding neighbourhoods, Amal Al-Faran weaves love and loss, tribal violence, slavery and resistance, and the folklore of jinn that haunts the dunes. In language that shifts between the poetic and the harsh, mirroring the sands themselves, this celebrated Saudi novel renders the desert as both enemy and sustenance. Now available in English translation.
