Oh Maryam
$6.00$8.00
It is a story that deals with topics such as internal conflict, coexistence with social challenges, and reviews the life of a woman who deals with the concepts of religion, love, and human relationships in a unique and profound way.
Two contrasting visions of two characters from an Iraqi Christian family, brought together by the country’s circumstances under one roof in Baghdad. Youssef is a lonely man in the autumn of his life, refusing to leave the house he built and lived in for half a century, to emigrate.
He remains clinging to the threads of hope and memories of a happy past alive in his memory. Maha is a young woman whose life was ravaged by sectarian violence, which displaced her family and separated her from them, so she lived as a refugee in her country and a resident in Youssef’s house, waiting with her husband for the date of emigration from a homeland that she does not feel wants her. The events of the novel take place in a single day in which the narratives of individual and collective memory intersect with reality, and in which hope collides with fate, when an event changes the lives of the two characters forever.
The novel raises bold questions for its characters about the Iraq that was, while the other tries to escape the Iraq of now.
