Seven Souls

Seven Souls سبع أرواح

By Afnan Fehead افنان فهيد

Does Jamila believe in dreams? What about the medicine that her psychiatrist prescribes for her? Is there a secret that brings them together in one picture in a family album? She doesn't know. However, what is certain is that a feeling of not belonging and a loss of identity, further brought about by deaths in the family, urged Jamila to knock on every door. Through six imagined previous lives and a seventh dream, Jamila sails through time and space between Cairo and Port Said. Will she find the answers that she is looking for?

Afnan Fehead is an Egyptian writer born in Port Said. She studied history and the liberal arts. “Seven Souls” is her first novel.
