Longlisted for the 2022 Republic of Consciousness Prize, Five Days Untold narrates the story of a young conscript forced to leave his village and family behind to fight in a bloody and senseless civil war that has raged on for years. Without proper training and his very survival dependent on the vagaries of fate, Ziad must face the unknown alone as he struggles to find his way back home.As atrocities and instability continue to roil the Middle East, this novel is a timely and sensitive portrayal of the true cost of conflict. Rich in pathos and filled with vivid imagery and cinematic scenes, Five Days Untold paints an unflinching portrait of war on a micro level and weaves together themes related to fate, agency, and the sustaining power of family bonds. Through the multiple perspectives of its characters, the novel skillfully brings into sharp focus the horrors of war while offering a dark meditation on how the past, both collective and individual, impacts the present. And while Ziad's hellish experience as an army conscript is personal, his struggle and determination to survive are instantly recognizable, drawing the reader deeper into the human dimension of war and conflict.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Sonia Nimr's award-winning Wondrous Journeys In Strange Lands is a richly imagined feminist-fable-plus-historical-novel that tells an episodic travel narrative, like that of the great 14th century Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta, through the eyes of a clever and irrepressible young Palestinian woman. The story begins hundreds of years ago, when our hero - Qamar - is born as an outcast, at the foot of a mountain in Palestine, near her father's strange, isolated village. Qamar's mother must solve the mystery of why only boys are born in this odd, conservative village. Then, in 1001 Nights style, this tale moves into another. Qamar's parents die and a prince with many wives wants to marry her. Qamar takes her favorite book, Wondrous Journeys in Strange Lands, and flees through Gaza, to Egypt, where she is captured, enslaved, and sold to the sister of the mad king in Egypt. After escaping, she flees to study with a polymath in Morocco. But when it's discovered she's a girl, she must leave again, disguising herself as a boy pirate to sail the Mediterranean. Through all her fast-paced battles, mysteries, and adventures, Qamar never finds a home, but she does manage to create a family. "An adventure-packed historical folkloric novel about a Palestinian girl who develops great healing skills and travels around the region on a daring journey across empires."-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
