Product description

Mrs. Mai, after the death of her father and then her mother, experienced a state of logical sadness, and she found herself alone in her house without the protection and love of her parents. She decided to cancel her weekly salon seminar every Tuesday, but she did not stop writing, composing, and engaging in cultural communication, until she was remembered for having brokered a reconciliation between Taha Hussein and Al-Zayyat in her house in 1935. Until her cousin Joseph from Lebanon came to her, asking about her property and money, and he nominated himself as her business manager. When she confirmed to him that she only had simple accounts, he had spies to investigate her financial secrets, including a relative who brought her to live with her claiming she was a servant to take care of her affairs! And Mai's father had a piece of land in his hometown of Shahatoul, which his family seized, making him warn his daughter not to trust her relatives or her mother's relatives. Nevertheless, Mai had no objection to opening her door to her cousin, who managed through deception to manipulate her into signing a power of attorney authorizing him to act on her behalf. Under the pretext of entertaining her, he lured her to Lebanon, where she found herself in his grip, admitted to the insane asylum hospital in a straitjacket! Number of pages: 220
