Anf W Thalathat Oyoun: The Novel

Despite being emotionally involved with two girls, he falls in love with another young lady who is about 25 years younger than him.
The Novel explores themes of love that are beyond the physical. It delves deep into the intellectual minds of the characters and how they perceive ‘Love.’ Is love a spiritual connection? Or is it a relationship of the body? What role do the mind and thought play in love?’ are all questions Abdel Quddous tries to analyze through his characters.
