The secret of saffron

Author's name: Badriya Al-Bishr






A novel that combines magical realism and a mythical spirit, extracting the past, its noble values, and its cultural heritage from the characteristics of the Saudi environment, blending reality and fantasy, hammering the stakes of its imaginary world into soft, moving sands that never cease “intending to discover the possible and the probable in order to dissect the hidden identity of reality and the being within it.”

Desert Novel Echoes of the City (Riyadh) The rhythm of departure and the trot of secrets A quick step towards remaining in the chambers of myth. Women's deception of women within spontaneous gatherings, brimming with the arts of narration with wonder and imagery. Various forms of imitation of "art" by art and the weaving of imaginations from knots of tricks and threads of plots and raids, denouncing the evils of crime and threatening punishment and avenging the dead and innocent. A women's myth, newly created in form and content, in which stories are born from the womb of the other and events are reproduced by means of memory and imagination together. There is no difference, for they are two sides of the same coin, but rather two channels that exchange the map of the place crowded with things, the living, the ghosts of the dead and the ghouls. In women's gatherings, Bedouins and urbanites get to know each other, quarrel, love each other, cooperate in the harshness of life and the vicissitudes of time, take the lead in the rooms of houses, or spread out in the clover fields and under the shade of vineyards and palm trees, or shop for their goods in the markets. The scent of civet, cloves, and saffron mingles with the echoes of their sorrows, and the smoke of raids, the beating of drums, and the cries of the dead. So, who will you choose, dear reader, as the heroine and main character of the novel amidst all this momentum? Who will be the narrator, who knows “the secret and what is hidden”? Is she the slave girl Zafarana, the illiterate, knowledgeable in the arts of medicine and treatment with herbs? Or is she the young girl Nafla, “the tall, young, Bedouin flower of the mountain, the daughter of the lost, homeless village of Al-Sab’iya, searching for the meaning of identity, value, and significance?”

The writer's style also seems to be very exciting, passionate and pure, skillfully and smoothly drawing you into the story.
