In this gripping tale, a young Sudanese man returns to his village after years of European education, only to encounter a mysterious newcomer named Mustafa Sa'eed. As their friendship blossoms, Mustafa unveils his haunting past in post-World War I London, where he was both celebrated and objectified as an exotic curiosity.

Denys Johnson-Davies' "Season of Migration to the North" masterfully weaves a narrative of cultural collision and its devastating consequences. Mustafa's quest for vengeance against the decadent West ultimately leads to his own downfall, and the ripples of his actions reach far beyond London to the tranquil banks of the Nile.

This compelling exploration of colonialism's impact on both the colonised and the coloniser offers a stark, unflinching look at the complexities of cultural identity and the lasting effects of imperialism. Johnson-Davies presents a world where the lines between victim and perpetrator blur, leaving readers to grapple with the profound consequences of a clash between two vastly different societies.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
