Honour.
Dutch Nieuw Amsterdam
'In the first minute following her death, Leila's consciousness began to ebb, slowly and steadily, like French Flammarion
a tide receding from the shore. Her brain cells, having run out of blood, were now completely German Kein & Aber
deprived of oxygen. But they did not shut down. Not right away...' Hungarian Europa Konyvkiado
Italian Rizzoli Editore
For Leila, each minute after her death brings a sensuous memory: the taste of spiced goat stew, Japanese Hayakawa Publishing
sacrificed by her father to celebrate the long-awaited birth of a son; the sight of bubbling vats of Inc
lemon and sugar which the women use to wax their legs while the men attend mosque; the scent of Lithuanian Tyto Alba
cardamom coffee that Leila shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she works. Each Macedonian TRI Publishing Centre
memory, too, recalls the friends she made at each key moment in her life - friends who are now Norwegian Cappelen Damm
desperately trying to find her. . . Polish Poznanskie / Czwarta
