The Bamboo Stalk – Saud Alsanousi

R 45.00

Two names, two homelands and a search for somewhere to belong.

Born to a Filipina mother and a Kuwaiti father, José grows up in the Philippines with the promise of another life in Kuwait. When he travels to his father’s country, where he is known as Isa, the welcome he hopes for is complicated by family expectations, prejudice and questions of identity.

Saud Alsanousi’s novel explores the distance between heritage and acceptance, asking what makes a place a home. A thoughtful choice for readers drawn to migration stories, complicated family relationships and lives lived between cultures.

If you liked The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri or Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, you’ll enjoy this exploration of identity and belonging.

A paperback in Good condition: moderate wear and some page yellowing, with all pages present.
