Dusk's nature

Author's name: Noura Abdullah Al-Taniji

The story revolves around Hamad, who has Down Syndrome. His sister, Ghosq, is a son, brother, and companion to him. Ghosq took her name from him, as if it were dusk when it appears in the sky. Her brother's face, different from all the others, became a special imprint on her life, accompanying her and following in her footsteps. Ghosq became a mother at the age of fourteen, hovering in Hamad's sky. She didn't get enough education to care for her brother, and she couldn't bond with the one she loved when he gave her the choice between him and her brother. She chose to keep her eyes on Hamad's distinctive features throughout her life. Ghosq wasn't the only one who cared for Hamad; her loyal companion and the neighborhood neighbors all shared in this humanitarian mission, while her conscience remained aware that Hamad was like the shining candle in her life. The novel deals with the psychological condition of those with Down syndrome, and what revolves around it from a spontaneous perspective. It also deals with the psychological and emotional state experienced by those around the person with the condition, to reveal within the folds of the novel the relationship of the person with Down syndrome with his brother, neighbor, friend, relative, and colleague.
