She inherited her Italian mother’s beauty and her father’s wealth. She was nearly twenty when she returned from Egypt, where she had studied aesthetics, and her beauty shone on her city, “Al-Sur,” with its diverse community.
Suddenly, graffiti appeared on the walls, written by the “Memory and History” group, which declared a revolution against the infidels, declaring the city a city of murder, slaughter, and captivity in the name of Sharia.
Women were led to their fate as objects of pleasure for the princes of the religious revolution, colorful flowers consumed by fire.
It is the city of Al-Sur, O Khamila. It is the entire nation, its fiancé cheering for her.
Now, one era has ended and another has begun, and the beautiful Khamila, whose name has become Na’na’a, has become a captive, waiting to be married to a prince of the revolution, perhaps even Al-Muttaqi himself.
A novel that depicts the tragedy of war from a human perspective through the story of a woman facing violence and destruction in a troubled homeland.
