Al-Hussein Square

About this book

Around Al-Hussein Square, people with different ambitions carry private troubles that the city's bustle can conceal. As their lives intersect, relationships shaped by love are tested by betrayal, disappointment and changing fortunes. Amr Ahmed Tawfik focuses on everyday encounters and the gap between outward appearances and inner conflict. Dialogue and touches of poetic expression bring the characters' emotional and social struggles into view, making the square a setting for intertwined lives rather than merely a backdrop to events.
