Produktbeschreibung
When Silence Shatters is a lyrical and emotionally charged collection of short stories exploring identity, silence, queerness, and resilience across Egypt and the diaspora. Through vivid, intimate moments, Mahmoud reveals the quiet rebellions of women, men, and LGBTQ individuals navigating love, tradition, and survival in societies that often demand silence. Praised by Readers' Favorite as "a beautiful, careful handling of human feeling and story design," the collection brings forward voices long overlooked-stories of tenderness, defiance, and the small, powerful acts that break generational silence. With "every story singing," as Readers' Favorite notes, Mahmoud's writing illuminates the emotional truth in ordinary moments, delivering "tight writing and a gift for subverting reader expectation." Bold, haunting, and deeply human, When Silence Shatters gives readers a window into lives rarely centered yet universally resonant.
