Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A young woman named Maryam wakes from a disturbing, violent dream to find herself in a bed in a strange apartment in Cairo, rather than in her dormitory room where she fell asleep. With this enigmatic scene, Mansoura Ez Eldin begins an eerie tale of a woman cut loose from her world and struggling to reconnect the tenuous links to her former life.
On her own in the city, she can find no way to contact her former roommate, who has now vanished, or her boyfriend, a journalist who seems to have left no trace of his existence. His phone is out of service, his employer has no record of him, and even his byline has disappeared from old newspapers she has kept. From Cairo, the narrative flashed back to the country villa of Maryamâs wealthy family, where grief and madness lurked between the cracks of her childhood.
Maryamâs ever more desperate attempts to recapture the familiar world she once inhabited reveal a Gothic tale reminiscent of Poe or Palahniuk. A haunting allegory with a surprising ending, Maryamâs Maze is an imaginative first novel by one of the most promising members of Egyptâs vibrant new literary generation.
