Amulet of lovers

In this work of fiction, the writer moves between different eras in quick time travels, from Egypt with the Pharaonic Alara to contemporary Cairo, and from Mount Lebanon in the sixties with Mary, to the story of her grandmother Annie in Azerbaijan at the beginning of the twentieth century, passing through what happened with Rahma in Baghdad, And the morning sun in Seville and Fez. Between the past, the present, and the future, war is brewing, and love and art dominate the lives of the novel's heroines, in an eternal struggle. Each of them continues on her own path and travels from one city to another, so that fates and destinies are reflected in the mirrors of memory, so "Zeina," coming from tomorrow, seeks an unknown call in order to regain her life. A distant past that you intuit but do not realize. The novel also presents references to the future time with all its fears in the human relationship with technology, and the dangers it carries that reduce the presence of human feelings in favor of the machine.
