Cover of book titled For Three Camels

For Three Camels

Achmed Abdullah

When a respected Sheik's young wife Ayesha and a dapper man named Hasaballah fall in love, they seek refuge with the Sheik's friend Ibrahim. Though the Sheik demands retribution, Ibrahim recounts matching divine dreams that spare the lovers - for a price. With humor and wisdom, this tale ponders honor, faith, and the value placed on a woman in 1920s Egypt through a conflict resolved by bartering camels. Will rigid tradition or progressive compromise carry the day?
