Devoted to tending his bees and searching for wild hives\, he encounters Thamna\, a lone shepherd woman\, on a mountain slope and is captivated by her and her honey-colored eyes. \nZahran Alqasmi’s masterful novel thrums forward with a subtle momentum. His lucid\, poetic writing conveys a visceral sense of time and place\, of the fragile ecologies inhabited by both bees and humans alike\, in this intense and compelling novel of loss and hope. \nPublished by Hoopoe\, 2025. \n  \nAbout the author & translator:  \nZahran Alqasmi (Author) is an Omani poet and novelist\, born in the Sultanate of Oman in 1974. Honey Hunger was his third of four published novels\, and in 2023 he won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF) for The Water Diviner. He has also published ten poetry collections and a collection of short stories. \nMarilyn Booth (Translated by) is professor emerita\, Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and Magdalen College\, Oxford University.
