Not sure if it was the translation or just me being not very bright, but I was confused most of the time. There were a lot of prose that went over my head, could be for the same reasons.
With that said this one focuses on the postcolonial times and the arab-african cultures. We get an in-depth view of their way of lives and how it could be affected. The tone of the book got more grim as the story progressed. It was a harrowing read
