Review
A surreal and meditative take on a murder mystery -- Deborah Smith * Guardian summer reads * Raja Alem's reputation in contemporary Arabic literature [is] similar to Nabokov's in ours: masterful, erudite, witty, and somewhat dangerous. * Bomb * The real mystery here is Mecca itself, with the intricacies of its customs and new ways of life seen through many lenses . . . This intriguing narrative style . . . fits the mysteries of Mecca. * Booklist *
