As Delicious as a Separation

In her new book, Ahlam Mosteghanemi tells the story of a man tormented by separation, who has lost all faith in love. A mysterious man approaches the writer, the heroine of the story, and addresses her with words that are none other than her own. These are phrases she had previously said to Camelia, the inspiration for the best-selling book “Nisaa Com.”
Who is this man, and what does he want from her?
As usual, Ahlam takes us into the exciting worlds of love and the cunning tricks of fate.
This book also includes pages of Ahlam’s memories, shared for the first time with the reader. These are funny memories she shared with prominent figures of her time, such as Nizar Qabbani and Ghazi Al-Gosaibi, as well as other private family memories.
It also features the heroes of her novels, her relationship with them and with writing, her separation from them after each book, and her renewed encounter with writing after each occasion.
All this is done in the enjoyable, dense narrative style she has become accustomed to, and with content rich with her own stories and the stories of others, their concerns and obsessions, whether romantic, social, or national.
