Книга: In the Country of Men

This is a coming of age story, told by Suleiman, a nine-year-old boy who lives in Libya during the late 1970s when Qaddafi is known less as a revolutionary liberator and more as a cold-blooded dictator. Outstanding . . . In the Country of Men is a powerful political novel and a tender evocation of universal human conflicts - over identity, forgiveness, love. It was more than worth the wait Observer. Shortlisted for The Man Booker Prize 2006. The Commonwealth Writers Prize 2007
