Set in the 1960's just prior to the completion of the Aswan High Dam, this novel is a fictionalised account of the last days of a small community living along the Nile in what was once the ancient kingdom of Nubia, before the area disappears beneath the floodwaters created by the dam. Based on factual accounts of the actual events and the author's knowledge of the area, Nubian Indigo is a poetic elegy to a lost world.
