Daughter of Passion

About this book

Daughter of Passion begins with a swift emotional connection between a reader and a writer, then reaches backward into a dense network of past relationships. What first resembles a private romance opens a Pandora's box filled with greed, falsehood, vulnerability, and family secrets. A man and a woman who once lived outside ordinary reality are forced into a world that strips away illusion, while the existence of an unexpected daughter becomes the axis around which two households change. Ahmed Gomaa's novel examines passion, freedom, social constraint, and the consequences of truths powerful enough to turn apparent stability into the mouth of a volcano.
