RESUME:"What the Day Owes the Night" is a historical fiction novel written by Yasmina Khadra. Set in 1930s Algeria, the story follows the life of Younes, a young boy who is orphaned and sent to live with his uncle's family in a small village. As he grows up, Younes becomes friends with a group of Muslim boys, forming a bond that transcends religious and cultural differences. The novel explores themes of identity, love, and the complexities of colonialism. Against the backdrop of Algeria's struggle for independence, "What the Day Owes the Night" paints a vivid portrait of a tumultuous era and the personal journey of its protagonist. Khadra's lyrical prose and poignant storytelling create a powerful narrative that delves into the choices we make and the lasting impact they have on our lives.
