En la Libia de 1979, Suleiman, un niño de nueve años, vive una vida marcada por los rituales de la infancia, las visitas a las ruinas de Trípoli y los juegos con amigos. Sin embargo, sus noches están dominadas por los inquietantes cuentos de su madre, llenos de amargura familiar. Un día, Suleiman ve a su padre en el mercado, con gafas de sol oscuras, lo que despierta sus sospechas y lo arrastra a un mundo de secretos y peligros. Esta novela es una conmovedora representación de la infancia confrontada con las consecuencias de una pesadilla pública, y un debut literario de rara perspicacia y gracia.
