Description
In a Damascus psychotherapist's waiting room, Suleima meets Naseem, igniting a complex and fraught affair. Years later, Naseem sends Suleima a manuscript from his new country, a novel featuring a narrator whose life eerily mirrors Suleima's own. This ambitious, multilayered narrative weaves together tales of revolution, displacement, and delusional love, exploring the profound psychological toll of living under a brutal dictatorship. Through surreal details and poignant vignettes, the novel delves into the pervasive fear and deep-seated loneliness that define life in a bitterly divided society.
