Author's name: Naguib Mahfouz

Love in the Rain is one of the most famous novels by the world-renowned novelist Naguib Mahfouz. It gained widespread acclaim among intellectuals, readers, and critics, and was adapted into a film in 1975.

One rainy day, Kamal meets a girl named Amal and falls in love with her immediately.

Events unfold and love develops between the young man and the young woman, but a major obstacle appears in their way: the difference in their social classes. He is from a wealthy family, and she is from a poor family.

Kamal and Amal try to overcome this obstacle and hold on to their love, but external circumstances interfere and make things more difficult, turning their lives upside down.

The novel features an accurate description of social life in Egypt during that period, and sheds light on the class problems and social differences that plagued Egyptian society during that era.
