There is a cloud above my head

Author's name: Duaa Ibrahim

Novelist Duaa Ibrahim continues to portray characters grieving the pain of the past. The heroine is affected by her tragic life with her mother, uncle, and grandmother, and she never forgives her father for leaving her in this swamp and distancing himself from her, perhaps forever. She reels in the tragedy and tests her limits, hidden within the cloak of shame and stillness. But beneath the surface, roaring winds stir, revealing a giant monster that doesn't hesitate to kill anyone who stands in its way. The girl moves to Japan to live with her father in a fateful coincidence, and the events shift to a strange land, where the camera takes us to a new reality, which the girl is able to break into and walk through with steady steps. Novelist Duaa Ibrahim has a tremendous ability to create characters from nothing, placing them within an inextricable knot. With her, we see the depths of the abyss and sense its danger. In this novel, we oscillate between desire and deprivation, angelic and demonic, as ancient as creation. We seek literature as it writes letters after letters to draw life.
