Book Description | A judicial investigator tries to track down criminal crimes in a small village in Upper Egypt, and is surprised by something even more dangerous: murders without a logical motive, suspicious suicides, and the burning of crops and houses without a clear reason. This state of doubt accompanies everyone, including the investigator, whose fate intersects with a mysterious Coptic woman. In this novel, the writer Ashraf Al-Ashmawy delves into complex souls, using captivating secondary characters, which he skillfully drew so that they almost move on paper, then gave them the lead role for short periods before they disappeared among the crowds, weaving his events in new, surprising worlds, and funny, tearful paradoxes, with an attractive narrative rhythm that enriches thought and excites imagination, leaving a wide space for interpretation for the reader. |
