Beschreibung
For Leila, each minute after her death brings a sensuous memory: the taste of spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the long-awaited birth of a son; the sight of bubbling vats of lemon and sugar which the women use to wax their legs; the scent of cardamom coffee shared with a handsome student. Each memory, too, recalls the friends she made at each key moment in her life. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019!
