The Most Dangerous Child in the World

About this book

Between the walls of silence wrapping weary homes, and in the dark corners of a human psyche that knew nothing but oppression, the tale of Nahed sprouts. She is no mere girl suffering bullying or family coldness, but a cracked mirror reflecting the ugliness of a society that plants thorns then is astonished when its feet bleed. The story begins with the screams of a merciless mother, and the bullying of a sister who flaunts her beauty over the ruins of her broken sister's confidence, leaving Nahed alone facing a world that sees her as "surplus to requirements." But behind the features of plumpness and shyness lurks a dormant volcano of silent rage. When the "tongue" turns into a dagger tearing the soul, Nahed decides to cut that tongue, literally and figuratively. In a decisive moment, the scene turns from social tragedy into a bloody journey of vengeance and astonishing psychological transformation, where there is no room for remorse and no time for tears. The threads tangle with the appearance of Saad and other characters swinging between innocence and crime, in a world where the victims of injustice mix with its perpetrators. The Most Dangerous Child in the World examines how abuse and isolation can distort a life.
