A Marmar Marriage Contract

About this book

Between the banks of the Nile in the far south, where bodies melt in the furnaces of toil and souls are polished by the patience of clay, a story emerges unlike the usual tales. 'A Marmar Marriage Contract' is not merely a novel but a cry of revival for a boy named Mohamed, who found himself face to face with the beast of orphanhood and poverty before he had passed his eleventh year. In an environment recognizing nothing but toughness, he had to sell 'figs and potatoes' to buy a tomorrow for a grieving mother and five siblings, turning the sweat of his brow into lawful bread and university degrees the walls are proud of. But at the peak of fracture, and behind hospital corridors where the smell of pain mingles with hope, destiny knocks on his door with a unique melody named 'Marmar.' She is the girl of the impossible, who was not merely a beautiful face but 'an idea of beauty' that descended in human form. She is the love born from the womb of silence, growing behind the barriers of modesty and strict traditions, binding two hearts that met only in 'the sky of souls' before the earth united them. The novel takes us on.
