The Missing Part

About this book

What if you woke one day to find yourself in a world you do not know, standing in it alone before a red sky and black clouds, and people who do not touch the ground? In the novel "The Missing Part," writer Ganna Ismail takes us on a deep journey transcending the bounds of reality, searching the corners of weary souls for that "part" which fell from us in the midst of pain. The story begins with Salsabeel, a girl who knew nothing of fatherhood but cruelty, and nothing of love but betrayal, finding herself suddenly, standing before her mother's grave, transported to a parallel dimension, a world breaking the laws of physics we know. There she meets Rayan, a young man bearing scars resembling hers, and an estrangement matching hers. Between the alleys of a wondrous city and violet seas, they discover that their arrival at this place was no mere coincidence, but a response to the screams of their wandering souls. They are searching for "the missing part"; that tenderness which mends breaking, and the safety that dispels fear. This novel is no mere.
