"In its own way this novel is perfect, a fine example of the remarkable flowering of Third World cultures that has taken place since World War II. It ranks among the best contemporary novels." —Anne Greet Cushing, University of California
In this prizewinning autobiographical novel, a perceptive and penetrating story unfolds when ordinary people become caught between hope and despair, triumph and disillusionment as Algeria is engulfed by war in its struggle for independence from France.
