Synopsis of Cuore di ghiaia

Salim, un niño inteligente y amante de los libros, siempre se sintió como un hijo no deseado por su padre. Atraído por su tío Amir, un hombre brillante que vive con ellos, Salim crece en una casa llena de secretos y pesadillas. En los años 70, Zanzíbar cambia con la llegada de turistas, difuminando la memoria de la independencia y la revolución. Cuando su padre se va, Salim se siente confundido y avergonzado, y las ausencias de su madre empeoran la situación. Su tío Amir le ofrece una vía de escape, invitándolo a estudiar en Londres. En esta ciudad fría y hostil, Salim busca su camino, descubriendo los lados oscuros de su familia y la verdad sobre el amor, el sexo y el poder. Abdulrazak Gurnah describe la experiencia de la inmigración en una novela intensa sobre pertenencia y traición, donde un joven aprende a defenderse con la literatura.
