I Loved You, But

About this book

I Loved You, But is not just a novel about love and relationships, but a deep journey into the depths of the human psyche. Writer Dr. Mariam Awad Waheeb dives into precise details of life, beginning with childhood—where our first features are formed—all the way to maturity, where we face fateful decisions on which our whole lives depend. Through the character of Sara, we meet a little girl forced to return to her homeland, finding herself facing a reality completely different from her dreams. And through Rami, we see how a person can become attached to another to the point of becoming part of his being, and how childhood struggles can turn into a bond linking two people in an indelible way. The book tackles important issues like emotional trauma, the loss of loved ones, and the effect of the past on our present. It poses essential questions about the meaning of true love, and how we may fall in love with a curse that does not deserve us while neglecting the love that grants us peace and tranquility. The writer uses language in a poetic, deep style—sometimes to describe delicate feelings, other times to pose.
