Winner of the inaugural Booker Prize in 1969, this novel is set in 1956 in Port Said, Egypt. The protagonist, Townrow, is summoned by the widow of his deceased friend, Elie Khoury, who believes that Elie was murdered. However, many people, including Townrow's own wife, Leah, and the invading British paratroops, dismiss her claims. As Townrow delves deeper into the mystery, he begins to question the rules by which he has been living his life and wonders if he, too, may have something to answer for. The novel explores themes of guilt, innocence, and the complexities of human relationships in a disorienting world.
