Longlisted for the Orange Prize 2011Haunting TelegraphA story for all the senses Aminatta FornaA superb family epic . . . vivid, beautifully original The HeraldSet in 1950s Sudan, Lyrics Alley is the story of the powerful and sprawling Abuzeid dynasty. With Mahmoud Bey at its helm, the family can do no wrong. But when Mahmouds son, Nur the brilliant, charming heir to his business empire suffers a nearfatal accident, his hopes of university and a glittering future are dashed. Subsequently, his betrothal to his cousin and sweetheart, Soraya is broken off. As British rule is coming to an end, and the country is torn between modernising influences and the call of traditions past, the family is divided. Mahmouds second wife, Nabilah, longs to return to Egypt and leave behind the dust of backwardlooking Sudan. His first wife, Waheeba, is confined to her openair kitchen and resents Nabilahs influence on Mahmoud. Meanwhile, Nur must find a way to live again in the world and find peace. Moving from the villages of Sudan to cosmopolitan Cairo and a decimated postcolonial Britain, this is a sweeping tale of love, loss, faith and reconciliation.
