Synopsis[edit]
The book is divided into five parts, the first two are autobiographical where, for the first time, Mosteghanemi writes about her life and memories as a writer, a daughter, a mother, and a human. She recounts her experiences with her contemporaries like Ghazi Al Gosaibi, Nizar Qabbani, and, Suhayl Idris, and her relationship with her family.[1] She also writes about her characters from previous books, her attachment to them, the emotions that come with parting with them upon completing a book, and her meeting them again from time to time in her writing.[1] Throughout the book, the author relates her life to the lives of other famous writers using quotes to succinctly tie together her ideas.[1]
In the third part of the book, Mosteghanemi writes letters to one of her characters Camila from her book The Art of Forgetting (Arabic: com.نسيان).[2]
In part four she recalls a life-changing encounter with one of her followers on Facebook.[2]
Finally, in part five, she continues her story with Camila.[2]
Mosteghanemi covers topics from the creative process, to love, to loss, to life in the digital age, to war, refuge, and nationalism.[2]
