We will never forget

Think for a short moment that he is in front of the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in his life, and he was able to save her life. A short moment, but it was enough to make him lose focus. The girl pulled the scarf towards her with a sudden movement, which he never expected from beauty. It was a sudden and quick movement, and the scarf slipped from his hands. As for what happened after that, it took no more than a fraction of a second. The girl’s gaze froze, fixed and impossible to erase or forget, a girl’s gaze peering from a moving train window. A look of despair. "Noooo!" Jamal shouted. The red cashmere scarf fluttering between the girl’s fingers was the last thing Jamal saw, as the young woman fell into the void in the next moment. Jamal’s life also fell into the void, but he was not aware of that at that moment. * * * "We will never forget" is Bousi’s third novel translated into Arabic, and our talented writer chose in this beautiful work to make the hero an Arab, revealing the prevailing prejudiced ideas in Western societies, based on interacting with the Arabic name, as the hero himself described when introducing himself: "My name is Jamal. Jamal Salawi. I don’t think it’s a name that brings luck to its owner."
