Travelling in time and space, R.A. Hassan feels free to explore different environments and to discover the way cultures mix and merge, what they have in common and how they are unique. What does she see with her Egyptian eyes? She sees stories everywhere: in the sight of a scarab on the veranda, in visits to family in Britain and in Canada, in the restless feeling at the start of Spring, in a trip to Paris, in a teenage memory, in the ensnaring of a young girl by a local wizard, in a distant tsunami felt on the shores of the Red Sea, in crossing to the west bank of the River Nile at Luxor, to visit Hatshepsut’s temple, Deir El Bahari… in news items, in detective reports… [ “When will we get to the next rest house or village?” “Soon, soon,” said Atwa. Sure enough, some lights appeared in the distance. This was when Nadia became conscious that the whispering had begun again between the two men sharing the cab with her. She also noticed that the lorry was slowing down. Her heart began pounding very hard and she readied her scissors in her hand, holding it like a mini dagger, still hidden. She also noted where the door handle was. She wasn’t going to make it easy for them. Suddenly Ayman turned to grab her and, as he did so, she brought up her scissors and stabbed him with all her might in his arm. He cried out in pain and let go of her. In a flash, Nadia opened the cab door and flung herself off the lorry. She felt herself rolling down a slope into a kind of ditch. Then she banged her head against something hard and blacked out.]
