Such a strong one of a kind novel, I personally was searching far too long for any work of Arabic literature that portraits women as the leader of the relationship, so when I first read this I was finally satisfied, thank you for that. Now as for the characters I could find a strong connection between Laila and Tareq, so I sympathized with the two of them, however at the end I couldn't but to feel happy for the death sentence, it can symbolize the end of the macho patriarchy era so I didn't find any sympathy in me towards Firas. I like the story line so much and you know you could've given us more flashbacks to the characters' childhood, and more insight to the characters' psyche, this novel could've been way longer if you invested more into it and you owe us that being the first author to examine such plot twist. Please write something similar soon and thank you so much!
