The word of the night in regard to the day, authored by Ibrahim Al-Koni

The novel deals with the biography of the legendary queen nicknamed in history books as "The Cunning Priestess," who bravely defended her kingdom in North Africa against foreign invasion in a dramatic, bloody conflict that lasted a long time, as testified by Arab and foreign news reporters during the Middle Ages, and these testimonies are the basis of this work. The author says about his work: "It seems as if the irony of fate always refuses except to record the victim's biography from the point of view of the executioner, because if what matters to the historian in the historical biography is the result that we receive for free, then what matters to the novelist is the cause and not the result, because only in this dimension does drama dominate as a treasure that is the wager of any novel work, and only here is the space where the victim can defend herself, to raise the finger of accusation in the face of the executioner who committed injustice against her."
