The little boy escapes from the midwife's hands, and all attempts to catch him fail, until Abu Muharib, a retired policeman who suffers from rheumatism, intervenes, using his old hunting experience.
The chapters of the story continue, until the moment in which the reader finds himself facing a world in which reality is mixed with its strict natural laws, and imagination soaring on the same wings that changed the course of (the little one’s) life with her presence first, and her absence next..
What wings are these where scissors, scalpels, knives and guns lurk?
Who are those howling in the background?
What fate did those living below end up with?
The novel raises many questions, then stops at this point, shirking the burden of definitive answers, and assuming that the reader will not be let down by the wings of his imagination in reaching an answer.
“Amazing is a hidden treasure in Aleppo,” says one of the novel’s heroines. In her work, Maha Hassan tries to bring this amazement through writing and memories to re-draw Aleppo and its ancient popular neighborhoods, its rituals of living, the simplicity of its people, and their small dreams, before the war comes and destroys all of this in its path.
Relying on a unique technique inspired by the names of Arab and international novels and the titles of the chapters, the heroes of “The Amazing Neighborhood” tell us their story from “Zarqa’s Imagination” and “Beirut Nightmares” to the house of “Sleeping Beauties.”
It is a story about love, childhood memories, intentional killing, the emotional placenta, and the role of literature in our lives
مُمكن تكون أعقد حاجة في الدنيا هي العلاقات بين البشر.. مش بس أعقد.. لا.. هي كمان أخطر، وطبعًا أصعب..العلاقات بين البشر زي ما هي أحد الأسباب المهمة للسعادة والبهجة والإقبال على الحياة.. ساعات بتكون أحد أهم مصادر التعاسة والألم.. ممكن علاقة تطلعك سابع سما، وعلاقة تانية تنزلك سابع أرض.
