Product Description
Finalist for the National Book Award 2019
An Observer, Literary Review and Time Book of the Year
''One of the most affecting novels I have read. Subtle, wise and full of humanity'' The Times
Late one spring night, Driss Guerraoui, a Moroccan immigrant in California, is walking across a darkened intersection when he is killed by a speeding car. The repercussions of his death bring together a diverse cast of characters, deeply divided by race, religion and class. As the characters tell their stories and the mystery unfolds, Driss’s family is forced to confront its secrets, a town faces its hypocrisies, and love, in all its messy and unpredictable forms, is born.
