Description
A young Algerian boy, Younes, is thrust into upheaval when his family’s life is shattered and he must grow up far from the world he knows. As he moves through the rhythms of Rio Salado and the pressures of a changing society, he navigates friendship, desire, and the uneasy pull of identity—caught between what he is told to be and what he feels he must become. Yasmina Khadra’s novel traces how love, loyalty, and survival intertwine with the long shadows of history, class, and cultural belonging. With Khadra’s lyrical, humane storytelling and keen psychological insight, this is a coming-of-age tale that asks what we owe to one another—and what the night of hardship demands in return.
