Paths on the Horizon of Oblivion

About this book

Samia grows up in a struggling family that survives by collecting scrap, but poverty fuels her determination to break the constraints around her. Successive shocks—her father's injury, her mother's illness, hidden malice, and a fire that consumes the family's material hopes—test that determination. Moving between village lanes and university halls, the novel portrays sacrifice, family solidarity, and the long work of turning a private dream into an industrial enterprise able to support many other households. Paths on the Horizon of Oblivion is a humane story about loss, small victories, and loyalty to both ambition and home.
