It is 1988 and Hargeisa waits. Whispers of revolution travel on the dry
winds but still the dictatorship remains secure. Soon, and through the
eyes of three women, we will see Somalia fall. Nine-year-old Deqohas
left the vast refugee camp she was born in, lured to the city by the
promise of her first pair of shoes. Kawsar, a solitary widow, is trapped
in her little house with its garden clawed from the desert, confined to
her bed after a savage beating in the local police station. Filsan, a
young female soldier, has moved from Mogadishu to suppress the rebellion
growing in the north. And as the country is unraveled by a civil war
that will shock the world, the fates of the three women are twisted
irrevocably together. Intimate, frank, brimming with beauty and fierce
love,The Orchard of Lost Soulsis an unforgettable account of ordinary
lives lived in extraordinary times.
