Dilmunia is set in the mid-eighteenth century, within the rich landscapes of the Persian Gulf. The tale is told from several perspectives but focuses on Adam, an intrepid adventurer, who sets out to chronicle the history of the mysterious burial mounds of Dilmunia, an ancient island off the coast of Bahrain.On his travels, Adam witnesses the destructive force of the greed and avarice of humans. He becomes entangled with the beautiful Khowla, whose father falls victim to the plans of a power-hungry merchant. Adam must strike a fine balance between his love for Khowla and a duty to save her father, and his desire to know the nature of the human soul through his travels.This story is an epic, often tragic tale, interwoven with the teachings of the Quran and its insightful reflections on the essence what it is to be human. 3
