Winner of the 2008 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. When Mahmoud is sent to govern a remote Egyptian oasis in the late 1890s, he knows the danger he faces - his predecessors were murdered. Once at Siwa, Mahmoud finds himself caught between two warring factions, while his Irish wife Catherine, with her Western ways, succeeds in alienating the entire community - all except for a beautiful young woman, whose attempt at friendship spells disaster. A complex tale of love and an exploration of power, occupation and rebellion, SUNSET OASIS is a striking work by one of the Arab world's most celebrated writers.
