She is the first Omani woman to have a novel translated into English and it is the first novel originally written in Arabic to win the Man Booker International Prize. Lots of firsts for Alharthi! We also chat about a big stack of books, virtual biblio adventures galore, and a surprise upcoming joint read of Emma Donoghue’s newest book, The Pull of the Stars.
