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.

She grew up in Khartoum, Sudan, and in 1990 moved to Scotland, where she began her literary career. As of 2023, Aboulela has published six novels and several short stories, which have been translated into fifteen languages. Her most popular novels, Minaret (2005) and The Translator (1999) both feature the stories of Muslim women in the UK and were longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award and Orange Prize. Aboulela's works have been included in publications such as Harper's Magazine, Granta, The Washington Post and The Guardian. BBC Radio has adapted her work extensively and broadcast a number of her plays, including The Insider, The Mystic Life and the historical drama The Lion of Chechnya. The five-part radio serialization of her 1999 novel The Translator was short-listed for the Race In the Media Award (RIMA).
