Review of 'Season of migration to the north' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

An extremely difficult novel punctuated occasionally with a description or turn of phrase that stopped me cold. In an era of increasing confusion over national borders and immigration a book like this one is refreshing in the way it elevates the conversation.
