A Palace in the Old Village by Tahar Ben Jelloun

A Palace in the Old Village by Tahar Ben Jelloun

From 'Morocco's greatest living author' (The Guardian) comes a heartbreaking novel about parents and children, the powerful pull of home and the yearning for tradition and family. Mohammed has spent the past 40 years working in France. As he approaches retirement, he takes stock of his life - his devotion to Islam and to his assimilated children - and decides to return to Morocco, where he spends his life's savings building the biggest house in the village and waiting for his children and grandchildren to come and be with him.

Tahar Ben Jelloun was born in Fez, Morocco, and immigrated to France in 1961. A novelist, essayist, critic and poet, he is a regular contributor to Le Monde, La Républica, El País, and Panorama. He won the Prix Goncourt in 1987 for his novel La nuit sacrée (The Sacred Night) and has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
