La traductora es una novela de Leila Aboulela que narra la historia de Sammar, una joven sudanesa que trabaja como traductora de árabe en la Universidad de Aberdeen. Sammar, viuda y alejada de su hijo, se enfrenta a una crisis de identidad al encontrarse entre dos culturas. La novela explora la relación entre Sammar y Rae, un profesor ateo que trabaja como consejero del gobierno en negociaciones con terroristas, y cómo la incomprensión cultural amenaza con separarlos. La historia se desarrolla en un contexto de choque cultural y búsqueda de identidad, llevando a Sammar a Egipto como intérprete entre terroristas y mediadores británicos.
