“Whoever is looking for exoticism, Arabian nights, rebellion against reports about violations of human rights, or Islamic studies will be disappointed with this novel. Ghalib is mostly captivated by his age, and by the fact that he cannot marry his lover, a woman he has loved for 20 years”

Published by Dar al Saqi in the fall of 2011, Beavers is a sensitive portrait of a contemporary Saudi bourgeois family.
