Synopsis

This novel offers a powerful response to Camus's The Stranger, told from the perspective of the brother of the victim. Seventy years later, Harun seeks to give his murdered sibling a name and a story, confronting the casual violence that defined his life and death. It's a story of post-colonial Algeria, political disillusionment, and the enduring pain of a life overshadowed by tragedy.
