Winner of the Special Jury Prize, Prix Littéraire Sofitel Tour Blanche
I came to the Sahara to be buried.
After witnessing the collapse of the World Trade Centre, Jeehan Nathaar leaves her New York life with her sense of identity fractured and her American dream destroyed. She returns to Morocco to make her home with a family that's not her own. Healed by their kindness but caught up in their troubles, Jeehan struggles to move beyond the pain and confusion of September 11th.
On this desiccated landscape, thousands of miles from Ground Zero, the Dune sings of death, love, and forgiveness.

Poetic... In bringing the two worlds together, this book adds its voice to related works by Khaled Hosseini and Jhumpa Lahiri. --The Wee Review
Bouziane's prose is taut and lyrical and she manages to create a very powerful sense of both New York and the Moroccan dunes. --TripFiction
Poetic... In bringing the two worlds together, this book adds its voice to related works by Khaled Hosseini and Jhumpa Lahiri. --The Wee Review
Both precise and lyrical, this novel of epic scope suggests it's through service towards those whom fortune has forsaken that one can truly find peace. --Fouad Laroui, Prix Goncourt winner
Difficult to speak of a novel as rich and gripping as Dune Song. What might be the link between September 11th and the sand dunes of the Moroccan desert? --Mahi Binebine, short listed for the Prix Renaudot
