Summary Note "Layla and Majnun. Shirin and Farhad. And now, Amir and Jamila. Can star-crossed lovers face the prosaic light of day? Does poetry from afar, in another language, gravid with lyricism, carry its jouissance into English in a land where the magpies sing? Yumna Kassab’s rhapsodic third work, 'The lovers', is not a translated novel. And yet so powerfully does it recreate love and longing in the age of the anti-romance, in this most promiscuous of global languages, that we succumb to its spell, captivated by a linguistic sparseness that nonetheless evokes perfume and paradise, rose petals and recklessness, sex and silk gowns. How powerful is the hand of fate in the dance of desire? And what of the boundaries of love?" - Miles Franklin judges.
Awards Note Shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award 2023.
