About this book

Retired teacher Pius Fernandes receives an old diary discovered in an East African shop. Written by a British colonial officer in the town of Kikono seventy years earlier, it draws him into reconstructing lives trapped between its pages and towards the secret of a man named Pipa. M. G. Vassanji’s sweeping novel moves through colonialism, migration and competing memories, showing how archives preserve history while also concealing the desires and betrayals that shaped it. Originally written in English as “The Book of Secrets”, this is the Arabic edition published by Mamdouh Adwan Publishing House.
