About the novel: "Set in the fictional border town named Saraaya, five protagonists from different walks of life share life in a compound until political uncertainty and senseless violence disrupt their fragile harmony. The anchoring characters are Dena, a Sudanese-American documentary filmmaker accustomed to long, solitary jaunts in the region, and William, the talented and compassionate translator of Nilotic descent who is working for the white American mapmaker, Alex.
