Psychoraag by Suhayl Saadi

Psychoraag

Suhayl Saadi

A challenging book in which dreams, fantasies and stark reality fuse together Zaf's life and the history of his family.

Extract

The water flowed fast and clean over flat stones and the sound it made reminded Zaf of his own past and of the pasts which he had never lived through but which were part of him. The stories of his parents' childhoods, of their journey, their exile, their struggle, and now, their decline.
