In oil-rich Sofalia, power belongs to the elite while the forgotten survive beneath the bridge. As corruption spreads and inequality deepens, lives collide in a bold literary allegory about ambition, delusion, and the cost of paradise.
In oil-rich Sofalia, wealth and despair live side by side. Above the city, politicians rewrite laws and fortify their power. Below the bridge, Queen Aisha reigns over the forgotten, certain she sees what others refuse to confront. As corruption deepens and inequality hardens into cruelty, the lives of senators, royalty, widows, and the dispossessed begin to collide. A Portrait of Paradise is a sweeping work of literary political fiction that examines governance, ambition, class division, and the human cost of power in a fragile democracy.
