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 ageing 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?

A lovely story that seems simple but manages to illuminate so much about life in long ago Bahrain.

A light read with rich content. I devoured it.

Hope to read more of the author's writings in the future.
