ABOUT THE BOOK
In a mountainside village in Oman, Ghazaala and Asiya share a deep friendship — until Asiya is forced into exile and disappears from Ghazaala's life. Ghazaala carries the wound of that separation with her to university in Muscat, where she falls in love with a violinist. Years later, their paths cross again through Harir, whose life has also been shaped by Asiya's mysterious disappearance.
From the International Booker Prize-winning author of Celestial Bodies, Silken Gazelles is a novel about friendship, memory and the women who make us who we are, translated from the Arabic by Marilyn Booth.
