A brief about the book (Engraving on a stone in the village of Al Malouh) – Am I the Jew then? Like this and without my permission.. it is a trust.. left with a man from Najran.. he handed him over at the death of the mother and the Yemeni Jewish father to Imran and Saada. He lived his whole life not knowing the Yemen from which his family fled.. he only knows one city, and good people raised him in Namas. And today comes the question of identity: "I am in a pathetic state.. how can I recover the shadows of a homeland from which I was disowned, where there is no perceptible heartbeat under my skin. I am between illusion and reality, chaos and stagnation, wrong and right, temple and mosque, sheikh and rabbi." With an astonishing plot and precise eloquence.. the writer takes us on a tour of the Saudi southern regions and its enchanting nature. With its women, wandering in its valleys, gathering arar or watering palms. Reaching Sana'a with its details, colors, and the scents of coffee and incense. This novel is a reading experience that branches out and reveals in its own way the land, the mountain, the words, and the stories with a cohesive formulation and a unique narrative structure.
