Number of pages: 301 Publisher: Books of Two Authors The idea of writing a novel (Girl from Tunisia) has been a dream that has haunted me for decades, since I was a young boy, due to my close connection with (Girl from Tunisia) which extended over sixty-three years... So the novel reflects many features, customs, and traditions of life in Mecca during the last century and the beginning of the current century, and carries many childhood memories, family, social, and scientific memories, as well as many news, situations, and events that passed over the father, uncles, grandfather, and the son of the novel's owner, during their life and living journey in Mecca and outside it.... From these foundations, I was strongly eager to record what I heard and experienced in this novel, but I did not start writing early, because I found myself neither a professional nor experienced in the art of novel writing... All the backgrounds I have about novels are what I carry of passion and love for reading stories of great novelists and storytellers, such as: Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmoud Al-Aqqad, Taha Hussein, Ahmed Sabaei, Muhammad Abduh Yaman, Essam Khogair, Sami Al-Qusibi, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Victor Hugo, Tolstoy, and others. This hesitation lived with me a lot, until I felt that the years pass quickly and that death could come at any moment, so I dared myself and insisted on starting to write (Girl from Tunisia)... The Tunisian girl (Jameela) — as her name will appear in the novel — was born in (????!!!). Her father emigrated from (???!!), then she dramatically returned to (???!!!) to establish (???!!). Happiness was mixed with sorrow, poverty with wealth, and failure with success... But she was able to (????!!!). Allow me to leave you with the story, and I hope to receive your opinion and evaluation of it... With regards
