Shawarma: From the ruins of the past, a journey of resilience and hope unfolds

A young boy flees the wreckage of his family, only to face the unforgiving streets of Khartoum. Lost, imprisoned, and adrift in a crumbling world, his fate changes when a Turkish family rescues him, offering not just a home but a chance to rebuild. From hardship to triumph, he rises to success, but his new life is shattered once again-this time by the death of a beloved uncle and the upheaval of Sudan’s political regimes.

Forced into exile, he leaves behind wealth, security, and the identity he had forged. As Sudan’s turbulent history unfolds-its changing governments and social turmoil-his journey becomes one of self-discovery, where values are tested and survival depends on more than just money or power.

In this powerful tale of resilience, we follow one man’s path through the shifting sands of culture and crisis, where the lessons of integrity, hard work, and determination prove stronger than any inheritance. His story reflects a nation in flux, rich with contradictions, struggles, and moments of redemption.

A story of exile and endurance, this novel challenges the traditional notions of success, offering a deeply human meditation on what it truly means to rebuild a life.
