Delicious as a parting

All I ever wanted from the world was you, and today I say: "You can have the whole world, except me." In her new book, Ahlam Mosteghanemi tells the story of a man heartbroken by separation, who lost all faith in love. A mysterious man approaches the writer, the protagonist of the story, addressing her with words that are none other than her own. Sentences she had previously spoken to Camelia, the muse of the bestselling book "Nisyan.com."
Who is this man, and what does he want from her? As usual, Ahlam takes us to exciting worlds of love and insidious tricks of fate. This book also contains pages of memories from Ahlam, both the writer and the person, which she recounts to the reader for the first time. Amusing memories she shared with contemporary figures like Nizar Qabbani and Ghazi Al-Gosaibi, and 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 some time. All of this is presented in the enjoyable, narratively dense style we've come to expect from her, and with content rich in her own stories and the stories of others, their concerns and anxieties, whether emotional, social, or national.
