Season of Migration to the North by Denys Johnson-Davies is a riveting literary journey that captivates from the very first page. This poignant tale explores the complexities of cultural identity through the eyes of a young Sudanese man who returns to his village after years of education in Europe.
Reconnecting with his roots, he encounters the enigmatic Mustafa Sa'eed, whose haunting past unravels a narrative steeped in colonial tension. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I London, Mustafa's story serves as a powerful commentary on the dualities of admiration and objectification, illustrating how he became both celebrated and marginalized as an exotic figure.
- Rich Cultural Exploration: Dive deep into the intricacies of colonialism and its lasting effects on both the colonized and the colonizer.
- Complex Characters: Experience the emotional turmoil of Mustafa, whose quest for vengeance becomes a tragic reflection on identity.
- Engaging Narrative: Johnson-Davies artfully weaves a tale that confronts readers with the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator.
Recognized for its profound insights, Season of Migration to the North invites readers to grapple with the harrowing realities of cultural collision. The ripples of Mustafa’s actions extend beyond London, reaching the serene banks of the Nile, making this book a must-read for those interested in the impacts of imperialism.
Join the conversation and explore a narrative that challenges perceptions and invites reflection on the intertwined fates of diverse cultures.

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.’
