About By the Sea by Abdulrazak Gurnah
Saleh Omar arrives at Gatwick Airport from Zanzibar as an asylum seeker, carrying a mahogany box of incense and little else from the life he once had. In England, silence is his protection. Latif Mahmud, who is closely connected to Saleh’s past, lives alone in London; their meeting in a seaside town begins to unravel the history they share.
Longlisted for the Booker Prize, By the Sea brings together stories of love, betrayal, seduction and possession, set against the search for stability in unsettled times. It may interest readers drawn to fiction about exile, migration and the ties between people and their pasts.
