Description

A young African immigrant, Daud, arrives in Canterbury, England, carrying the weight of what he has left behind and the uncertainty of what awaits him. As he works in a hospital and moves through a world marked by loneliness and racism, he is forced to confront the distance between survival and belonging. In the midst of these pressures, an unexpected love begins to take shape, offering both tenderness and a new way to measure his own identity. With Abdulrazak Gurnah’s lyrical, compassionate storytelling, the novel explores displacement, memory, and the quiet resilience of the human heart—how connection can become a lifeline when home feels out of reach.
