Alef Bookstores's Description

The cultural anachronism that was the Imamate of Yemen is artfully captured in The Hostage. Set in the 1940s, the novel depicts a brutal, closed society through the eyes of a boy taken hostage and held in the governor’s palace to ensure his clan’s loyalty. Employed as a duwaydar, or general servant, he observes the whole range of a social order hardly touched by modernity and falls in love with the governor’s sister, the bewitching Sharifa Hafsa. As his friend, the “handsome duyaydar,” is slowly dying of tuberculosis, he himself is infected with the corruption of the palace and is on the verge of being consumed.
