Description

The Translator is a story about love, both human and divine. Sammar is a young Sudanese widow, working as an Arabic translator at a British university.

Following the sudden death of her husband and estrangement from her young son, she drifts – grieving and isolated.

Life takes a positive turn when she finds herself falling in love with Rae, a Scottish academic.

To Sammar, he seems to come from another world and another culture, yet they are drawn to each other. 'Aboulela is a wonderfully poetic writer ...

It is a pleasure to read a novel so full of feeling and yet  so serene' – The Guardian
