‘…stark, darkly humorous…Deirdre is such a perfectly realised fictional creation.’

The Observer

We couldn't agree more!

“…an extraordinarily immersive narrative, and a fascinating story of the little-known Ouled Nail dancers.” The Island Prize Judges
"A compelling storyteller, fresh and engaging." Karen Jennings, An Island

Tourists know it as the City of Joy. For Ouled Nail dancers, Bousaada is a city of horrors.
Published in the UK, Algeria and Nigeria
