Publisher's Synopsis
In prose that embraces mystery and drama Mariam Hamad paints a vivid picture of a spiritual journey exploring themes of self-discovery and integrity.
"Oh, generous light, take my hand and steady my feet for I do not aim high. Just one step is enough for me."
I had no idea how much time had passed while I was floating in the fading light when the Dervish woke me up by gently poking my shoulder. He touched me with the tip of his fingers without producing any sound.
I felt that my soul had returned to me, but I was still numb and paralyzed and I could not feel anything. I had no longer control over my loose body, and I no longer cared about it for it no longer belonged to me. It was just a physical object or it might be a part of this soft sand embracing me at the moment.
I started to smell the scent of the sea and I recognized his voice.'
