About this Novel

In a cramped room, a young boy sits with his friends, engaged in a heated argument that eventually unites them. The focal point of their discussion is the scarce provisions, primarily consisting of bread, which are dwindling, leaving them with a sense of scarcity. Seated in shabby attire that doesn't complement his appearance, he resembles a disheveled figure. His posture, with legs crossed like a woman, is conspicuous. Holding a cigarette, he emits smoke thoughtfully, seemingly disconnected from the mundane matters. Born into a financially stable family, untouched by the claws of poverty, their secular lifestyle is indifferent to religious constraints, a trait shared by many in their household. NASIR AL'HUSEN, a notable figure in the family, is characterized by his disregard for religious pursuits. Having spent eight years studying education in America since the age of sixteen, his focus lies more on academic endeavors. Despite his past involvement with alcohol, he has now abandoned such indulgences, spending quality time with friends. Hidden from his parents, he believes they lack understanding. However, his father's comprehension leads to prayers for him.
