    "description": "Karim and Maya:\n[x] share a home\n[x] worry about money\n[x] binge-watch films\n[x] argue all the time\n\nKarim, a young film-maker, carries with him the starry-eyed dreams of the Arab Revolution. Maya carries her own pressing concerns: an errant father, an unstable job, a chain-smoking habit, a sudden pregnancy. When Karim\u2019s brother disappears in Tunis, and Karim wants to go after him, Maya must choose between her partner and her home city, her future and her history\u2026\n\nIn a conversation between forms, fictions and truths, Exquisite Cadavers is a novel about a young couple navigating love in London, and a literary hall of mirrors about an author navigating the inspirations behind her work.",
