Description

After twenty years in exile, a man returns to Hamiya, a fictional Arab country run by military commanders who treat power as a personal possession to be handed down from one generation to the next. Forced abroad for taking part in a failed assassination attempt on the military ruler known as The Grandson, the man is interrogated by security police on his return and later encounters family, childhood friends, former comrades and his first love. But most importantly he grapples with his own self, the person he left behind. Land of No Rain is a complex and mysterious story of the hardship of exile and the difficulty of return.
