Ten new stories included in the short story collection "The First Night Without You" by writer Areej Jamal. Areej writes her stories in a poetic and intimate language in which the tenderness of the language melts with stories whose heroes touch the threads of light. What is common in Areej's writings is her characters' constant search for themselves, and the paths of search delve into language, dreams, and various scenes of tenderness, sensitivity, and the colors of love. As usual, women in her stories search for windows to open. To receive the songs of life in a world that abandons tenderness and clings to its harshness.
