These three women and their families witness Oman evolve from a traditional, slave-owning society slowly redefining itself after the colonial era, to the crossroads of its complex present. Elegantly structured and taut, Celestial Bodies is a coiled spring of a novel, telling of Oman’s coming-of-age through the prism of one family’s losses and loves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 19 Sept 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e, Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781398541405\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 265 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56980219036030,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781398541405.jpg?v=1772039228","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/celestial-bodies-by-jokha-alharthi","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
