Milkman
In the nameless city, to be interesting is dangerous. The middle sister is trying to hide from the mother a relationship with the wrong boyfriend and even more - repeated meetings with a mysterious thrush. When the local community learns about this secret connection, which is still not distinguished by the middle sister, becomes the object of close attention of everyone - relatives, friends, neighbors, and special services. And this she wanted the least.
Sad and funny at the same time, the milkman could be written by Gogol, he is born a century later and he read Joyce.
Heavenly bodies
On an airplane flying from Oman to Frankfurt, the dealer of Abdullah thinks of his relatives, recalls the departed father, who kept him in the hedgehog mittens, is sad about his wife Miye, who never loved him, about her daughter who had recently torn their engagement, thinks about Zarifa, a black concubine-woman who replaced his mother. We will soon find out that Miya really did not want to go for Abdullah - once she was in love with another, of a man whom she did not know. And she skillfully managed with a needle, but over the years of marriage, a dream fell in love with a more fellow - there is no need to open her mouth once again. Her sisters, holi and Asmaa have his own story, their mother Salima, the sheeps of Beduinka Nadzhiy-moon, who loved someone else"s husband. Maybe al-Avafi is small, but everyone here has their own difficult fate, their own sorrows and joys. This novel is an amazing panorama of the life of the Muslim Oman, which fascinates with its quiet depth and oriental atmosphere
