[5] Alharthi has published three collections of short stories, three children's books, and four novels (Manamat, Sayyidat al-Qamar, Narinjah, and Harir al-Ghazala).
An English translation by Marilyn Booth was published in the UK by Sandstone Press in June 2018 under the title Celestial Bodies, and won the Man Booker International Prize in 2019.
[8] Sayyidat el-Qamar was the first work by an Arabic-language writer to be awarded the Man Booker International Prize, and the first novel by an Omani woman to appear in English translation.
[9] The judges heralded the book as "a richly imagined, engaging and poetic insight into a society in transition and into lives previously obscured.
Some reviews were more mixed - in The Guardian, Maya Jaggi commented on "structural flaws and an overambitious global reach make for a patchy read".
