Sie sind Zwillinge, und sie sind entzweit, noch bevor sie halb erwachsen sind. Was sie auseinanderbringt, ist Eifersucht um ein Mädchen – eigentlich eine Bagatelle unter Brüdern. Aber sie spüren, wie unterschiedlich die Liebe der Mutter auf ihnen liegt, und das schneidet tiefer, als sie selbst ahnen können. Ein Haus im alten Hafenviertel von Manaus, nahe der tropischen Wasserwelt. Darin leben, eingesponnen in ihre Liebe, Halim und Zana, libanesische Einwanderer der zweiten Generation. Als die Zwillinge Yaqub und Omar geboren werden, ist Halim, der genüßlich die Liebe und ihre Ekstasen kultiviert, ohnmächtig gegenüber der besitzergreifenden und parteiischen Liebe seiner Frau zu den Söhnen. Er läßt es zu, daß nach einer Szene fast noch kindlicher Gewalt Yaqub, das Opfer, für fünf Jahre in ein Dorf im fernen Libanon geschickt wird. Was die zwischen den Brüdern aufgeflammte Rivalität dämpfen soll, stachelt sie erst recht an. Nach Yaqubs Rückkehr wird nichts in diesem Haus ohne das Gift des Mißtrauens und der Rachsucht sein. Auch Ränia, die später geborene Schwester, wird in ihrer heftigen Hinneigung zu beiden Brüdern der eisigen Konstellation nicht entfliehen können. Wie blind zerstören die Brüder im Versuch, das je Eigene gegeneinander zu behaupten, alle Intimität, jede Hoffnung der Mutter auf Versöhnung. Der Sohn von Domingas, dem indianischen Dienstmädchen der Familie, das mit den Zwillingen aufgewachsen ist, erzählt diese Geschichte, viele Jahre nach den Ereignissen – das Haus gehört längst einem geschäftstüchtigen Inder –, und in seine Vergegenwärtigung mischen sich Halims erinnerungsselige Stimme und das bohrende Fragen nach der eigenen Identität. Welcher der beiden Brüder ist sein Vater: der gewalttätige und impulsive oder der unnahbar seine Rache vollziehende? Aber gäbe die Antwort Aufschluß über ihn selbst? Hatoums Roman ist von insistierender Genauigkeit gerade in den elementaren Dingen des Gefühls, geschrieben mit der Nuanciertheit und Ambivalenz eines großen Prosaisten.

At night, in Huda's fragrant garden, a breeze sweeps in from the desert encircling Baghdad, rustling the leaves of her apricot trees and carrying warning of visitors at her gate. Huda, a secretary at the Australian embassy, lives in fear of the secret police, who have ordered her to befriend Ally, the deputy ambassador's wife. Huda's former friend Rania, an artist, enjoyed a privileged upbringing as the daughter of a sheikh. Now her family's wealth is gone, and Rania is battling to keep her child safe and a roof over their heads. As the women's lives intersect, their hidden pasts spill into the present. Facing possible betrayal at every turn, all three must trust in a fragile, newfound loyalty, even as they discover how much they are willing to sacrifice to protect their families. Transporting readers to one of the world's most legendary cities, with mouthwatering cuisine, incredible history, a surprising art scene and bustling book markets, Gina Wilkinson's suspenseful debut is told through the eyes of three very different women confronting the limits of friendship and forgiveness, and the strength of a mother's love.
We are all human beings, and we all have worries and problems, there is no person on the face of the globe who has not experienced times of despair and frustration, in which he hated himself, the world and the people around him. But we confuse depression as a disease with frustration, sadness and distress, so if you're frustrated by a difficult situation, or sad about missing an important opportunity or losing a loved one, it doesn't necessarily mean you're depressed. Depression is a different thing, it has a different story, and sometimes it chooses certain people to attack them, which makes them and those around them wonder: Is there a cure for depression? Can it be cured? How to protect ourselves from contracting it? How can we get out of any state of sadness or distress we are experiencing? Now you have in your hands a book that will not only be useful for the depressed, but also for everyone who reads it.
