In her first collection published in English, Sahar Tawfiq explores the consciousnesses of young women alienated from their surroundings in todays rapidly changing Egyptian society. In questioning the place of long-powerful myths and beliefs, she is in the forefront of writers examining the legacy of the Pharaohs as it permeates current Egyptian identities and practices, especially in the countryside. Her characters are shaped by journeys through modern social and economic trials and the ageless troubles of the human spirit and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51881176465696,"sku":"NEW1557283842","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81ig0CVRjLL.jpg?v=1781817920","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/points-of-the-compass-stories-1557283842","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
