An Unfinished Dream and Other Stories

About this book

Mohamed Abdullah Tolba gathers stories in which hope appears as a brief light against an unforgiving world. A man in Upper Egyptian dress sits beside the Nile and is drawn toward a beauty marked by modesty and mystery, only for predatory intentions to turn affection into a race for survival. Elsewhere, fate, magic, and difficult choices reshape lives before their dreams can be completed. Blending romance with suspense, the collection asks whether love can cross social danger and what price a person may pay for reaching toward the impossible.
