Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition Anatomy of a Disappearance by Hisham Matar, read by Khalid Abdalla.

In Egypt, Nuri, a teenage boy, falls in love with Mona - the woman his father will marry. Consumed with longing, Nuri wants to get his father out of the way - to take his place in Mona's heart. But when his father disappears, Nuri regrets what he wished for. Alone, he and Mona search desperately for the man they both love. Only for Nuri to discover a silence he cannot break and unimaginable secrets his father never wanted him to know.
A fable of loss, and an often troubling meditation on fathers and sons. Matar is writing from the heart
