Talal Musa

A female novelist suffers from writing aphasia yet insists on writing a novel telling the story of a man whom she had loved dearly and thought would stay with her, until she wakes up one day to find he had travelled to Syria to join ISIS. At the same time, she is embroiled in a fierce conflict with her conservative family and the equally conservative Sudanese community she lives in abroad. Writing becomes her only means of resistance.
