The Pearl Thief | Noor Al Noaimi
3 posts | 3 read
This is a lovely little short story about Hassan, a poor Bahraini islander, who finds himself in desperate circumstances. Driven by the need to take care of his aging parents, he embarks on the unthinkable; a pearl diving quest... when he can't even swim! But can Hassan be more than he is? Can he leave his world of poverty and being looked-down upon, to finally be someone in life and provide for his family? Or will he always be a poor man's son, destined to a life of destitution and struggle?

The Pearl Thief | Noor Al Noaimi

A short story that captured the culture of an island in the Arabian Sea very well. I think it could be easily crafted into a novel with the death defying exploits of pearl divers fully explored.

Just a short story this time, as, due to my spectacular planning skills, I read Two Old Fools (meh), which was set in #Bahrain, last month.

This is a very slight story, by a Bahraini author, which left me smiling. A young man joins a pearl diving crew, largely out of desperation - and unexpectedly settles his future. It‘s not a great work of literature, but is enjoyable, atmospheric and exceedingly short!

Currey @rockpools You seem to be the winner in this very difficult Bahrain month. Actually written by a Bahraini author, readable, and SHORT… 4y
rockpools #readaroundtheworld @Currey 😆 I wasn‘t expecting to find anything at all this month - Bahraini authors are very thin on the ground - or drowned out by visiting ex-pats 😕 4y
Simona Stacked! ... just for challenges in the future 😘 4y
