The new novel by Salim Dawood

The road to nowhere

A quiet road, a broken-down car and a stranger with a secret. A gripping story about the places we run from and the people who bring us home.

Salim Dawood comes with his most deeply personal novel yet: tender, tense and impossible to put down.
— Kinda Daher, Literary critic
