"And the Sun of Nayrouz Rose" is a novel penned in the ink of the self—a work in which author Maysa Ahmed Abdullah inscribed her words to hold every woman up to the mirror of her own soul, should she seek to discover what she truly desires from this life. This is precisely what she did with her protagonist, Nayrouz, who turned her mirror into a confidante—a friend to whom she could whisper her tales: "Mirror, oh mirror, I shall tell you my stories." Thus, Nayrouz found herself—alone with her mirror—following the loss of her mother, her father’s remarriage, and the stifling oppression of her brothers. Consequently, she resolved to embark upon her own solitary "Via Dolorosa" through this world. Yet, the pain that had settled deep within the recesses of her soul—pain that had shadowed her throughout her childhood and adolescence—stood as a stumbling block before her every time she attempted to rise. She took a job at a company, but it did not last; she fell in love with a colleague, yet failed to hold onto him. Even when the dazzling lights of social media fame swept her from her small, private world into a vast, wider one, she remained unable to fill the void within her soul. And—like any human being—fearing the confrontation of her own mistakes, she found no one but her mirror to whom she could unburden herself of every hidden secret she carried. Thus, in every moment of brokenness, Nayrouz returns to her faithful friend—the mirror—heartbroken, shattered, and spiritually hollow. That is... until the novel finally unveils her secret...! One wonders: will Nayrouz remain a lost soul wandering in the depths of these times, or will her sun rise once again?
