Gravel Heart is a 2017 novel by Abdulrazak Gurnah. It is Gurnah's ninth novel and was first published by Bloomsbury Publishing on 1 August 2017.[1][2] The story is set in the late 20th century and follows Salim, who moves from Zanzibar to the United Kingdom, as he reflects on his parents' separation.[3] The title originates from a phrase used in Shakespeare's play Measure for Measure.[4]
The book received positive reviews from critics. Suzi Feay, writing for the Financial Times, described it as "elegantly written and unsparingly sad", and applauded its examination of British colonialism.[1] In a review for The Times Literary Supplement, Tadzio Koelb praised the novel's final section and Gurnah's storytelling.[5]
