The Unknown Half

About this book

Nour, a young Egyptian woman living in Argentina, is drawn by recurring dreams and strange incidents toward Yahya, a man who spent half his life far from society in the jungle. When she enters a world of wild animals, buried secrets and unfamiliar rules, Yahya becomes her only guide. Survival, identity and belonging become inseparable from a relationship neither fully understands. The novel asks whether a person can return to ordinary life after losing everything, and whether some truths are meant to remain hidden.
