Horses of God: A Novel by Mahi Binebine

Mahi Binebine’s novel follows four childhood friends from Sidi Moumen, a shantytown on the edge of Casablanca, toward the 2003 suicide bombings in the city.

Narrated by Yachine from the afterlife, it portrays childhood friendship and the poverty and hopelessness that leave the boys open to a fundamentalist leader.
