SUMMARY: When Dunya Khair writes a controversial article in the newspaper challenging the status quo in her country, the response — ranging from adulation to death threats — is swift.
The BookViral Review: Provocative and engrossing, When the Haboob Sings proves a notable release for Nejoud Al-Yagout and a must-read for those readers who enjoy fiction with thought-provoking social, cultural and religious commentary. Intelligent and impeccably written the duty of journalism to speak out is clearly a subject Al-Yagout cares about deeply and in Dunya Khair she has created a ferociously vibrant character. One who holds nothing back with her energy and heartache energizing Al-Yagout’s powerfully poignant narrative.
Perhaps the greatest hurdle to be cleared for a novel like this is the problem of incident but Al-Yagout comfortably incorporates Khair’s ideological ideas into the fabric of her story. Another author might have allowed religious and cultural commentary to dominate but whilst it demands the reader’s attention it is ultimately more cautionary in its intentions with Khair’s state of mind becoming increasingly erratic. On this level, Al-Yagout brings gentleness and open-mindedness to her narrative which not only articulates Khair’s internal struggle but makes it feel devastatingly authentic. Being sensitive both to the singularities of her protagonist’s psychological collapse and the indignities weathered by her as a woman.
An enthralling read which resonates with authenticity, When the Haboob Sings is highly recommended.

An eye-opening look at creation versus evolution, ‘From Goo to God’ tracks many of the blindly accepted evolutionary theories, picking each apart to examine whether they deserve the widely established promotion throughout the whole educational experience of young people.
Kathleen. W . Franks has managed to capture; the kind that transports its young reader into the realms of their own imagination, complete with secret tunnels, magical creatures and a good old baddie or two!
Right from the off the mystery begins as Franks firmly hooks her readers with strong relatable characters and a gripping plot, with the shape of the novel growing and shifting naturally from her protagonist’s very first experience at his new home.
We are constantly and enduringly fascinated with fictional accounts of parallel existence, alternative realities and genetic engineering. Films such as ‘The Fountain’ present immortality as attainable, whilst books such as ‘The Book Thief’ (Markus Zusak) explore the nature of death, in this case by death himself acting as narrator.
