North Of Dawn (okładka  miękka, wyd. 12.2019)

A couple`s tranquil life abroad is irrevocably transformed by the arrival of their son`s widow and children, in the latest from Somalia`s most celebrated novelist. For decades, Gacalo and Mugdi have lived in Oslo, where they`ve led a peaceful, largely assimilated life and raised two children. Their beloved son, Dhaqaneh, however, is driven by feelings of alienation to jihadism in Somalia, where he kills himself in a suicide attack. The couple reluctantly offers a haven to his family. But on arrival in Oslo, their daughter-in-law cloaks herself even more deeply in religion, while her children hunger for the freedoms of their new homeland, a rift that will have lifealtering consequences for the entire family. Set against the backdrop of real events, North of Dawn is a provocative, devastating story of love, loyalty, and national identity that asks whether it is ever possible to escape a legacy of violence--and if so, at what cost.
