Description
In these thirteen intimate short stories, Muslims living in Scotland—or journeying through it—navigate the quiet upheavals of belonging, displacement, and desire. From an unlikely friendship between a wealthy Sudanese student in Aberdeen and a Scottish man, to a woman’s shifting relationship with the life and work of a writer she loves, the collection traces how home can be both a place and a question. Aboulela’s lyrical, compassionate style turns everyday encounters into moments of emotional revelation, exploring longing, exile, faith, and the search for selfhood across cultures. Each story offers a distinct voice, yet together they form a resonant portrait of what it means to live between worlds—always reaching, always remaking “elsewhere” into something livable.
