A storm delivers a boy to the shores of Ras Madrakah, a forgotten village where the sea speaks in riddles and the rocks seem almost alive. Sheikh Shaleh takes the boy in, convinced he is a gift from God. The same storm that wrecks a ship appears to reveal a long-buried secret. Across the sea, in the quiet chapels of Leeds, Sophia sends her husband David into the desert in search of that secret, guided by signs she believes are divine. Told with the shimmer of Arabian Nights and the wonder of Sinbad’s voyages, The Sailor’s Secret is a tale of omens, shipwrecks, and the stories that carry us home.

Without tells a story of searching for belonging both in the world and within your own skin. Born in Saudi Arabia to a Yemeni family, the novel’s protagonist has been ill-at-ease since childhood, because she never felt like she was a girl. Alia’s alienation grows as she slowly comes to realise that she is, in fact, a man and begins the transition to live life as Ali.This is a very important story to tell as it portrays the struggles of gender non-conforming people in society. The novel is sensitive and frank in how it approaches an intersex person’s struggles with the realities of love, friendship, and survival against the backdrop of a life lived between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and then later the UK. Without navigates complex issues in a very human way, painting an honest portrait of how people come to terms with challenges they never expected they would face. Told in a deceptively simple style, through a tightly woven and skillful narration, Without makes these struggles resonate with us all.
