My romantic aunt

Author: Njam Wali Category: Novel Publisher: Kalemat (Dubai) Cover type: Hardcover Publication year: 2024 Number of pages: 328 Book summary: My romantic aunt. I don't know if one of the men who passed through her life, or one of her close friends, was the one who gave her that nickname, or if it was herself, as she wrote at the bottom of a paper she would leave me in an old box that originally belonged to my grandmother. Regardless of what might be attached to her name and throughout her life—qualities of kindness, beauty, and... craziness—these qualities came late, after years. But before that, she only had that romantic trait, which became publicly known one day, a day I no longer remember, and I lack the ability to put a date to it. All I know is that since someone threw that trait onto her, it has been associated with her, and I don't remember ever hearing anything about her without mentioning her romantic trait; a trait that has become like her distinctive mark. Sometimes I think; maybe my grandmother was the one who gave her that nickname. Surely my grandmother heard that word from the lips of a character in movies or TV series she used to watch obsessively in those days, especially during wartime—what war?
