The parent item

When we talk about the novel, we enter a world where the threads of the past and present intertwine to form a skillful narrative fabric. Younes Hassan Khamiri, with his masterful style, takes us on a complex psychological journey through the life of a grandfather facing his inevitable fate alone, while delving into the memories of his children who betrayed him. This novel is not just a story, but a mirror reflecting the painful reality of some family relationships, where parental love becomes a factor that can be discarded or overlooked. The novel raises fundamental questions about the concept of parental responsibility and kinship, and how blood ties can turn into constraints or even burdens. The reader finds themselves contemplating the unspoken contracts between family members, and the impact of social and economic changes on their cohesion. Through a strong and moving narration, we can see how human relationships are affected by external pressures, and how familial warmth can turn into a harsh coldness that envelops souls.
