Pianist in Abu Dhabi

Author's name: Al-Anoud Al-Makhmari

Sultan is an ambitious young Emirati man who lives between his passion for sports and the responsibilities of daily life.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he hears about a book that piqued his curiosity – The Pianist – which his university colleague Reem had talked about.

He decides to read it without realizing that this small decision will lead him to a different journey that touches his heart before his mind.

"A stranger in my homeland and a loneliness within me, a stranger who whips all feelings. I am a stranger to them and alone in my heart, and perhaps I will die alone."

I am saddened by my sorrow, and I am saddened by my condition, nothing more. I do not overlook, but I turn a blind eye to the volcanic craters that await someone to ignite them, and here I am, raging, and here the flames are burning me while I am alive, and here I am looking at myself as dead, seeing nothing but my ashes.

One of Malak's thoughts

And this is where the real story begins, when reason meets emotion, and reality meets imagination.

The book, written by a sensitive, emotional girl who expresses herself through writing and playing musical pieces, becomes a mirror through which Sultan sees himself.

Her words are not just narrated, but felt, and from between the lines the reader begins a journey towards what he feels but does not express.

Read The Pianist to discover what you never dared to say.
