About this book

Sîranê, Seltî, Salma, Khensî and Ayshana are women whose lives cross in the borderlands of north-eastern Syria, a region transformed by the Berlin–Baghdad railway, disease and competing histories. From Mardin to Amuda, Ras al-Ayn and Tell Halaf, their whispered stories carry fear, tuberculosis and intimate secrets, but also the memories of Yazidis, Syriacs, Armenians and Kurds. Rebir Yousef’s polyphonic novel restores women to the centre of a complex, multicultural history.
