نبذة الناشر:"
In this novel, the author attempts to shed light on a critical period that Sudan went through, which captured the world’s attention: the events in Darfur and their catastrophic consequences that claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Darfur’s citizens. He presents these events in a narrative form that ...enables the reader to follow along without boredom and in a style that somewhat softens the harshness of those painful events.
These events were tied to political conditions throughout Sudan, during which widespread human rights violations affected most of the Sudanese population. The perpetrator of all these events was the ruling political regime.
The novel narrates how the Sudanese people struggled to overthrow that regime and reflects all these events through the story of the family of Shawish Hussein and a small group of young people whom the author believes represent all the revolutionaries who suffered under the regime’s brutality and worked diligently to remove it.
Each character in the novel has their own story, path, and different ending, which keeps the reader eager to follow the plot despite its tragic conclusion.
Excerpt from the novel Hawaya:
Then Maryam recanted that those who took up arms in Darfur turned their weapons against each other or against the weak among them, just like her, her sister, and her family. She felt that injustice had become ingrained and endemic in this country, just like malaria, epidemics, and diseases. Those who killed Ishaq and left a bullet in her arm, were they the “wicked malefactors” or the ""revolutionaries,"" and were the “wicked malefactors” who resorted to armed looting, and no one knew their identity, were they the ""revolutionaries.""? or the “wicked malefactors” themselves were revolutionaries mimicking double identity state? Or were there revolutionaries who were “wicked malefactors” and “wicked malefactors” who were revolutionaries? Or was each one working for their own interests, exploiting the revolution to fulfill their desires, and identifying with the personality that suits their desires changing it from time to time like a rattle snake that changes its skin but fails to change its instinct? It's so easy to form a movement, militia, or any armed group that resulted in dead brothers and displaced daughters, with bullets lodged in the bodies of the poor. Maryam considered everyone to be “wicked malefactors”, including the revolutionaries, the armed looters, and the corrupt government that lacked ingenuity. Hawaya turns her head while sleeping, sometimes on Maryam's shoulder and sometimes on the rim of the train window, not caring about the dust (Kandaka) that has settled in her hair. Despite the train stopping for a while at Sennar, during which people hurriedly took tea with milk and perhaps had some bites or sandwiches, Hawaya didn't wake up from her sleep. Maryam was overcome by frustration when she saw Sennar, the former capital of Sudan, which appeared to be like one of the small towns in the west of Sudan. It seemed to her that Mustafa's words were true, and they hadn’t reached Jabal Ali yet. She wondered, with her sister's head resting on her shoulder, whether they had reached the last line on the page and entered the margin, or if they had gone beyond the margin veiled by the darkness of the night and would exit the page.
