The Imprint of a Soul

About this book

Set around families in Cairo's Helmeyet El-Zeitoun district, the novel follows intertwined relationships, including the affection of Abdo and Naglaa and Saeed's decision to propose to his factory colleague Amal. Against Yassin's belief that modern marriage has become prohibitively difficult, Yehia Abbas Shehata explores generational differences, sacrifice, and the lasting imprint one soul can leave upon another.
