Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1987 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. As the country is unravelled by a civil war that will shock the world, the fates of the women are twisted irrevocably together. Intimate, frank, brimming with beauty and fierce love, 'The Orchard of Lost Souls' is an unforgettable account of ordinary lives lived in extraordinary times.
