One evening in November 1994, sixty-five-year-old Saleh Omar arrives in London with a fake passport under the name Mahmud. Once a prosperous merchant in Zanzibar, he now carries only a small mahogany box filled with incense, seeking asylum in a country that does not want him. When the son of the real Mahmud learns of his presence in England, the past resurfaces abruptly. Through the eyes of a virtuoso storyteller, Abdulrazak Gurnah delves into the history of Zanzibar and the tragic condition of exiles, forever torn between two shores.
