In the village of al-Awafi in Oman live three sisters: Mayya, who marries after a heartbreak she never mentions; Asma, who marries out of duty; and Khawla, who refuses every offer and waits for the man she loves to come back from Canada.
Through their families, their marriages and their losses, the novel traces a country moving within living memory from a slave-owning society to the present. The first book originally written in Arabic to win the International Booker Prize.
