This novel is a part of me and my memory-it is almost who I am-and it is the most important work I have written so far.'Return to Jasmine' is a painful and profound journey through the wreckage of war, where its shattered heroes, in moments of weakness and sorrow, try to reclaim what remains of their lost dreams. As jasmine petals scatter in the wind, the question resurfaces: Can hope bloom again in a land drowned in blood? This novel invites you to immerse yourself in a chilling tale, where every letter tells the story of a people searching for themselves in a sea of grief and devastation.'Return to Jasmine'-where the flower withers, and only memory stands resilient, carrying within it the promise of revolution, the bitterness of betrayal, and the hope of return.This novel will take you on a journey through ravaged lands, where the only sound is the moaning of memories lingering among the ruins. There, where dust obscures the past, you will return step by step, passing through places that once witnessed moments of life, bidding them farewell slowly. Yet it is silence that will remain.'Return to Jasmine'-where your dreams fall like autumn leaves, where you walk roads heavy with pain-but beyond them, there is no more sorrow. Only a deep silence that tells the story of a people.'Return to Jasmine' is not a novel you read to escape reality, but to face it with all its pain and longing.It is a bold mirror that is not ashamed to reflect destruction and does not beautify pain.At a time when novels have become accustomed to appeasing the reader, this one comes as a soft slap, awakening the memory and opening the closed wound.Here, the story is not adorned with words... it is stripped bare, just as people were stripped in the face of death, exile, and betrayal.It is a novel about revolution, about the homeland, about those who left without a farewell, and about the jasmine that withered but did not die.'Return to Jasmine'-for those who have the courage to see the truth as it is, without makeup, without embellishments.A novel not only to be read... but to be lived.
