Sleepless Souls

About this book

Baraa has learned that a convincing refuge can hide the source of the deepest wound. In a world practiced in deception, betrayal by those she trusted begins a journey through memory, psychological uncertainty, and mysteries that refuse ordinary explanation. Fatima Bouyknaoun blends detective tension with visionary and metaphysical elements, allowing the search for facts to become a search for the boundaries of the self. Sleeplessness is both condition and symbol: the mind remains alert because the truth has not yet been made safe. As appearances fall away, Baraa must distinguish revelation from illusion and decide whether knowing what happened can free her from those who shaped the lie.
