A Prick from the Past

About this book

Sara Sami Mohamed gathers emotionally charged stories in which forgotten memories return with a sudden sting. A woman tries to rebuild after an unexpected departure; a child experiences the world through autism; affection within marriage competes with distance and loneliness. The dead remain present in closed rooms, and long-denied truths surface when characters break. Blending melancholy with hope, these stories offer companionship to readers who have endured long nights alone and ask whether the past ever dies or simply takes new forms within us.
