كونشيرتو قورينا إدواردو

The heroine's family is of Greek origin, one of Libya's minorities with a culture of its own. Through her eyes the novel follows Libya from the 1970s to Gaddafi's overthrow in 2011 and the 2014 civil war: her father's killing in the so-called cultural revolution and the nationalisation of the family factory. It also takes in the departure of Libya's Jews in the 1960s and the looting of antiquities.
