When Karim&’s 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… In 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.
