Beschreibung
A novel about a life turned upside down by love and a breath of freedom.
Cairo in the 1980s. The orderly life of young doctor Tárik has become a straitjacket. He has taken over his father's medical practice, dividing his time between demanding work and the daily family routine, where his loving wife, authoritative mother, trusting sister, and a maid who guards family secrets play central roles. Opening a clinic in a poor neighborhood brings a breath of fresh air into Tárik's life. Everything changes when he takes a poor young man, Alí, under his wing, and an unspoken relationship develops between the two men, threatening to disrupt Tárik's family.
Co o tobě vím is a meticulously crafted debut novel, infused with humor, sensuality, and tenderness.
