Description

In this poignant novel, Abdulrazak Gurnah masterfully navigates the complexities of identity, exile, and the enduring weight of the past. The narrative unfolds across continents and decades, tracing Salim's journey from the revolutionary fervor of 1960s Zanzibar to the quiet introspection of 1990s London. As Salim grapples with fragmented memories and unspoken truths about his family, he uncovers profound revelations that challenge his understanding of belonging and betrayal. Gravel Heart is a deeply moving exploration of migration, the search for home, and the intricate ties that bind us to our origins, told with Gurnah's signature lyrical prose and profound empathy.
