The Square Moon by Ghada Samman is a captivating collection of ten evocative short stories that blend Arabic tradition with gothic, magical realism. Postmodern and deeply poetic, these tales explore the lives of Arab characters navigating cultural shock, exile, and identity in modern Europe. Women in the narratives wrestle with societal constraints and inherited traditions, while supernatural elements—ghostly lovers, split personalities, and uncanny encounters—infuse the stories with both humor and eerie suspense. Perfect for readers drawn to literary fiction that combines social insight, surreal atmospheres, and unforgettable emotional resonance.
