The Other Names Of Love

Other Names for Love opens on a night train across the desert. Sixteen-year-old Fahad is travelling with his father Rafik to the family's farmlands, tamed from the jungle and now the source of their wealth and power. Fahad doesn't want to be there: he and the older man are not close; he is supposed to be in London with his mother, going to galleries and the theatre, and not to the end of the world. But when he falls in love with a boy from the next village, Fahad's summer under duress becomes an experience that will shape the rest of his life.
