String ties

Book title: Bonds Author: Domenico Starnone Publisher: Al-Karma Book classification: Novel Number of pages: 208 About the book: The relationship of "Vanda" and "Aldo" marriage, like many similar relationships, has faced trials, erosion, and the burden of routine. Despite that, it remained intact - as it might seem at first glance, but a crack appeared long ago, and over time the relationship became like a cracked vessel that could break with the slightest touch. And perhaps it has already broken, even if no one admits it. "Bonds" is an enchanting and shocking novel about love, family, and the inevitable consequences of our actions. Translated by Amani Fawzi Habbashi with skill and smoothness, to be the first work of "Domenico Starnone" — one of Italy's most important writers today — published in Arabic.
