Set in Muscat, the capital of Oman, in the first half of the twentieth century, the story is divided into three parts, each named after a district of the city. Dilshad, a young native of Muscat, of unknown parentage, grows up in extreme poverty in one of the Balochi areas of the city, experiencing Balochi as well as Arab culture. His daughter Mariam inherits his poverty and carefree nature, and she becomes everything to him, helping him cope with his blindness. Eventually Mariam must leave her father to find work. This is a novel of hunger, sadness, adventure, and love. Shortlisted for the 2022 International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF).
