Dreams of an Eastern Girl

About this book

Between truth's alleys and imagination's corridors dwells a girl resembling no one but her letters. "Ahlam" is no mere heroine's name, but an emotional state embodied in every line of this work. Have you ever tried to escape the cruelty of numbers, prices, and bullies, to take refuge in a castle you built of ink and a pen? In this book, Dr. Asmaa Yahya opens us a window onto the world of "Baher" the painter who chases mysterious features in his paintings, and "Ahlam" the writer whom inspiration chases like her shadow. It is no mere storybook, but an exploratory journey into the human psyche's depths as it faces "the genie of love" at times, and "the wolves of reality" at others. You will find yourself wondering with every page: is imagination the only escape from the bitterness of days? And how can the letter be a cure for a wound others do not see? "Dreams of an Eastern Girl" is an invitation to every dreamy soul refusing to break, and to every heart searching for its safety in a time when safety grew rare. The work moves us through an amazing contrast between the painter's canvas and the writer's text, proving that souls may meet in the world of visions before they meet in reality. It is a book that touches the ache, plants hope, and speaks of love in an authentic eastern tongue that knows how to keep trust and repay kindness.
