"In the first minute following her death, Tequila Leila's consciousness began to ebb, slowly AND steadily, like a tide receding FROM the shore..."

For Leila, each minute after her death recalls a sensuous memory: spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the birth of a yearned-for son; bubbling vats of lemon AND sugar to wax women's legs while men are at prayer; the cardamom coffee she shares with a handsome student in the brothel WHERE she works. Each fading memory brings back the friends she made in her bittersweet life - friends who are now desperately trying to find her . . .

A vivid carnival of life AND death, cruelty AND kindness, love, politics AND deep humanity. Brilliant! - Helena Kennedy
