Fiction
In his new novel, award-winning, internationally
bestselling author Tahar Ben Jelloun tells the story of a
Moroccan brother and sister making new lives for themselves
in Spain. Azel is a young man in Tangier who dreams of
crossing the Strait of Gibraltar. When he meets Miguel, a
wealthy Spaniard, he leaves behind his girlfriend, his
sister, Kenza, and his mother, and moves with him to
Barcelona, where Kenza eventually joins them. What they
find there forms the heart of this novel of seduction and
betrayal, deception and disillusionment, in which Azel and
Kenza are reminded powerfully not only of where they’ve
come from, but also of who they really are.
