The Translator Résumé

The Translator Leila Aboulela

The Translator is a story about love, both human and divine.

Sammar is a young Sudanese widow, working as an Arabic translator at a British university. Following the sudden death of her husband and estrangement from her young son, she drifts - grieving and isolated. Life takes a positive turn when she finds herself falling in love with Rae, a Scottish academic. To Sammar, he seems to come from another world and another culture, yet they are drawn to each other.

'Aboulela is a wonderfully poetic writer ... It is a pleasure to read a novel so full of feeling and yet so serene' - The Guardian

The Translator Avis

'A story of love and faith all the more moving for the restraint with which it is written'

-- J.M. Coetzee

'A lyrical journey about exile, loss and love... poetry in motion'

* The Sunday Times *

'An exceptionally well-crafted and beautifully written novel'

* The Guardian *

'She pulls you into her world as she refracts British life, its smells and sounds, its advertisements and turns of phrase'

* Independent *

'A subtle investigation into the meaning of exile and home, doubt and fait, loss and love. Leila Aboulela's writing is always beautifully observed, her voice one of restrained lyricism: she is a writer of rare and original talent'

-- Duncan McLean
