Description
Enayat al-Zayyat's life was marked by tragedy and creative struggle. Her novel, Love and Silence, remained unpublished until four years after her death in 1963. Poet Iman Mersal's discovery of the novel in the 1990s sparked a quest to understand Enayat's story. Through extensive research and interviews with family members and friends, Mersal reconstructs Enayat's life, exploring the circumstances surrounding her suicide and the publication of Love and Silence. The book delves into themes such as mental health, domestic abuse, and the challenges faced by women artists in Egypt during the 20th century. This unclassifiable masterpiece offers a remarkable portrait of an artist striving to live on her own terms, shedding light on a pivotal moment in literary history that had been largely forgotten.
