Quotes by Parker Bilal (?)

“Makana stared up at the stars and marvelled at how clear they were out here, so far from human habitation. It was remarkable, just how many there were. They felt comforting, despite his situation. They took him back to his life with Muna, the happiest time he could remember, when the world had been simple. Sitting out in the yard in the evenings, watching the sky revolve slowly around them. It seemed like another world.”
― Parker Bilal, The Golden Scales

“Makana turned west and the road became crowded with heavy articulated lorries laden with stone or shuddering iron rods. He fell in behind a truck filled with camels. They gazed out at their surroundings serenely, seemingly detached from the insanity through which they were passing.”
― Parker Bilal, The Golden Scales: A Makana Investigation
