Finished! What a book by this Iraqi writer. “Sololand” is the most dramatic of the novellas in terms of the structure (a thriller almost with an explosive climax) and my pick of the three. Unsparing and human.

Cover of “the case of belladonna”by mirna el Mahdy with red wash photo showing a man in a trench coat climbing some steps in a street, sinister mood
Intrigued by the Cairo-based Nuh Al-Alfi Investigates series by Mirna El Mahdy. Her detective Nuh has the special power of being able to squeeze a lemon and talk to the dead. But that doesn’t help solve murders as much as you’d think…🍋 🕵️♂️ 👻

3. I would not have found this cracked jar if it weren't for my loneliness, which sees gold in all that glitters.

Nine residents of the Shatila refugee camp, wove their stories together during a writing workshop to create this powerful novella.
It opens with a boy spraying “Don’t talk about the camp unless you know it” onto an alleyway wall.
