Habibi

Habibi by Craig Thomas, 655 pages

Cover image for Habibi / Craig Thompson.Sprawling across an epic landscape of deserts, harems, and modern industrial clutter, Habibi is the tale of two child slaves bound to each other by chance, and by the love. Throughout the book we see the two as they grow together and as they grow apart. Together they struggle to make a place for themselves in a world that is fueled by fear, lust, and greed. 
Once again Craig Thomas delivers an absolutely gorgeous book. In addition to the richly detailed story Thompson includes gorgeous Arabic ornamental calligraphy making pages into their own beautiful pieces of art.
