Warm stone

A warm stone by Radwa Ashour ... with a strong Egyptian touch, Radwa Ashour narrates the details of Egyptian society through a large family of children, neighbors, and siblings, all united by "Shams": the mother whose life revolves around them. The events of the novel tell the struggle of all family members to create a future, whether through internal opposition — as it covers the history of the student movement in the seventies — or through escape or exile to gather money. Everyone is striving and everyone is struggling, but the woman has the heroism in this work, with her worries and challenges, and she is also the hope and good news of change. The author presented a model of the passive and positive woman who seeks to change the lives of others for the better. With the multiplicity of characters and the succession of events, simple details between people and in their ordinary days come, adding intimacy and friendliness that enrich the reader's soul.
