When he first showed up at Captain Ali's run-down boxing club, Said was mocked for his bourgeois accent then humiliated in the ring. After barely a year of training, he has been consumed by the world of boxing and tipped for greatness. As his star rises, Said is faced with the challenger he came for, but at what cost? Maan Abu Taleb's debut novel is one of heady victories and crushing defeats. Driven by direct, lean prose All The Battles is a powerful story of class, identity and personal transformation.
