Summary She inherited beauty from her Italian mother and wealth from her father. She was about to turn twenty when she returned from Egypt, where she studied aesthetics, bringing her radiant charm to her diverse community in the city of 'Al-Sour'. Suddenly, writings by the 'Memory and History' group appeared on walls, declaring revolution against the infidels, claiming to conquer the city with killings and abductions in the name of Sharia. Women were taken to their fates as pleasures for the leaders of the religious revolution, colorful flowers devoured by flames. 'It’s the city of Al-Sour, Khamila, it’s the whole homeland,' her fiancé calls out to her. The era has ended and a new time has begun, with the beautiful Khamila, now called Naa-Naa, taken captive, waiting to be presented to a prince of the revolution, perhaps Al-Muttaqi himself. Amir Tag Elsir is a Sudanese novelist whose works have been translated into English, French, Italian, and Spanish. His novels published by Saqi Books include 'Witches Resort', 'Ebola 76', 'Desire', 'The Morning Dowry', and 'The Larvae Hunter' (shortlisted for the 2011 Arabic Booker Prize).
