رواية «نوّارة» مع كل كائناتها، ومشاهدها السينمائية وإحالاتها الشعرية والرمزية، هي قصة بسيطة لا تعدو أن تكون أكثر من رحلة عجائبية لفتاة ملقبة بمنارة الصحراء وبسيدة القطن الملون، من قريتها الصحراوية الملتفة حول بئر ندر ماؤه، إلى شاطىء بحر يتوقف فيه الزمن ويتهاوى فيه القصر الموشى بالصدف البحري. وفي كل ليلة يهوي وقع ظهور القمر وأفوله

إنها رواية عربية/مشرقية مُشعّة بشرقيتها ¬¬وعروبتها. لا تعرف إلاّ أن تكون كذلك، وهي في أحلك لياليها، مرصعة بالنجوم والأقمار وزوابع الدخان الكوني الملون

The tale of Nawwara - in its Arabic universal poetic symbols - is simple yet magical. It is a dazzling tale interlaced with Arabic/oriental magic.

Nawwara is a highly visual narrative tale that unveils the magical adventures of a 13-year-old heroic girl in a constantly disturbed area of the world, narrated by an ancient Arabic manuscript hidden for a thousand years in Nawwara’s house in the desert. Her journey, in time, space, the desert, the oasis and sea, is narrated where artwork and imagination interwine to connect fantasy with reality, and words with images. The characters live in parallel in the margins as abstract graphic elements. Nawwara, notably, is an unfolding gold line. The book is for young adults.

A story for young adults

I thought I was getting this book for my youngest daughter, but it turned out to be my eldest teenage daughter that loved it. What a great and unusual story. It even inspired my eldest to start painting and writing her own little short tales. Thank you. We love this book.

Beautiful

A whimsical book and a beautiful story. I love the artwork and the waves the tale takes you through along with a girl named Nawwara.
