The novel by Sudanese author Reem Jaafar, A Mouth Full of Salt, has achieved remarkable success, topping the list of best-selling books in independent bookstores across the United Kingdom this week!

Congratulations to Sudan and congratulations to Reem Jaafar:In the darkest of times that Sudan is going through, and amidst the deep sorrow of losing our dear Walid Abdeen, may he rest in peace, along with other beloved companions and youth, a new light shines through the black clouds.

This remarkable achievement is crowned as the novel surpasses The Hunger Games by renowned author Suzanne Collins, proving the strength and resilience of Sudanese literature in facing the deep challenges that the Sudanese people endure.

This unprecedented event is a monumental step for Saqi Books, the publishing house, as the book shines for the first time on the best-selling lists, marking a milestone for the first Sudanese author to hold such a place in the world of global literature.

At Story of a Sudanese Woman, we are proud of this great cultural victory. We congratulate Reem Jaafar on this extraordinary achievement and wish her continued brilliance and creativity in her literary journey, ensuring that Sudanese literature remains a testament to the strength, resilience, and creativity of its people, no matter the circumstances.
