This novel, unprecedented in its themes within Sudanese narrative, presents a captivating narrative exploration of rural life in South Sudan. Through the densely populated and eventful setting of the village of Reth Banaw, and the passage of the official army through towns and villages, a rich African cultural consciousness emerges, imbued with captivating animistic beliefs and a mystical world that permeates the lives of the people in their joys and sorrows. The language of this novel is a graceful blend of classical Arabic, modern Arabic, Sudanese Arabic, and the local languages of South Sudan. The lines between narrative and linguistic levels are almost imperceptible, so rich is the poetic style that imbues the narrative with a provocative, revolutionary beauty.
