Description

Najwa's life has been shaped by her experiences in two vastly different worlds. Twenty years ago, she was a university student in Khartoum with dreams of marrying well and raising a family. However, those plans were shattered, leaving her to navigate the challenges of adulthood. It is only through her adoption of the hijab and her visits to the mosque that Najwa finds solace and a sense of peace. Her awakening to Islam brings her a new perspective on life, one that slowly begins to heal the wounds of her past. When she meets a younger man, their relationship blossoms, but Najwa's journey is far from over. This poignant novel explores the complexities of identity, faith, and love, offering a nuanced portrayal of a woman's search for belonging in a world that often seeks to define her.
