About Of Mud and Honey

About The Book

As the reign of imperialism ends in Aden, Yemen and gives way to a communist government, a young family finds themselves trapped as political prisoners. Strength, love and faith are pushed to their limits overnight as they embark on the fight of their lives.

November 1967 in Aden, Yemen. Dara and Silloo Barucha’s serene life with their family is interrupted when violence erupts after the British occupation announce their plan for a swift exit from the country. Things take a turn when the family business is seized, and they are targeted by members of the revolution. Dara is whisked away as a political prisoner while Silloo put under house arrest with her three young children and mother-in-law. As the couple embark on their separate harrowing journeys, in the hopes of being reunited, they are consistently faced by challenges. The looming question: will they make it out alive? 

Of Mud and Honey Reviews

“Trabulsi has composed a moving drama that illustrates the troubles of a city and nation in the microcosmic struggles of a family. A gripping and emotionally affecting political tale.” -Kirkus Reviews

This book, based on a true story, is an amazing account of a young family torn apart by lies and political intrigue. Excerpts from the author’s mother’s detailed diary while under house arrest and her father’s memories while a political prisoner, make this as authentic of a story as possible. Follow along on their journey as courage, love, and hope prevail even as their Parsi faith is tested to the ultimate limit. Warning: it’s a really hard book to put down.
