Season of Migration to the North

Year: 1966/2003

A little gem of a novel, perhaps overladen with symbolism and parallelism, but not significantly worse for that. This lovely story stands the typical post-colonial narrative on its head and is biting and disturbing while also deeply engaging, complex while still a fast and enjoyable read.
