About the Author:
Leila Aboulela was born in 1964, grew up in Khartoum and came to the UK to study at the London School of Economics. 'The Museum', a story from Coloured Lights, was the winner of the 2000 Caine Prize for African writing. Her second novel, Minaret, will be published by Bloomsbury in June 2005. Leila Aboulela divides her time between Djakarta and Aberdeen.
Review:
'a moving, gentle, ironic, quietly angry and beautifully written' - Ben Okri on 'The Museum' 'Aboulela shows the rich possibilities of living in the West with different, non-Western ways of knowing and thinking,' - The Sunday Herald 'Leila Aboulela's writing is always beautifully observed, her voice one of restrained lyricism: she is a writer of rare and original talent' - Duncan McLean
