“Adham” was born multiple times, which is difficult to count. And in each of his births, he carries a different personality and another life, to the point where he can be described as multiple versions of a single human being, or to borrow what he says about himself: “I am all formulations. Open endings and closed beginnings. I am the ultimate formula. I am everyone, women and men, a part.” A masculine part in a feminine personality, and a feminine part in a masculine personality. I am the one who desires immortality.
In this novel, Maha Hassan reaches the height of experimentation in writing, ignoring the rules, surrendering herself to the pleasure of storytelling, to the philosophy and philosophies of her hero, trying to write his biography in his endless births.
The culprit of the novel My Heart is Between Abu Dhabi and Kuwait
The events of the novel take place in the nineties of the last century in the city of Abu Dhabi. The protagonist, Ali, worked as an employee in his father’s company after his father urged him to do so. He not only married Hamad’s cousin, who shares the company’s profits with his father.
Ali feels tremendous pressure from his parents. He does not feel that the time has come for him to make a decision in his life.
As fate would have it, he went with Hamad's aunt on a business trip to Kuwait. The director of the Kuwaiti company was late for the meeting, so his daughter, Sharifa, was forced to meet the Emirati delegation. Ali saw her and his heart burned with love for her, and so did she.
The agreement was not completed between the two parties due to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
