The Mother Tree

In the shadow of the ancient Mother Tree, where roots intertwine with the echoes of a forgotten homeland and branches reach for the distant promise of a new world, Hamid Oqabi weaves a poignant tapestry of memory and migration. This novella, a lyrical journey through time and displacement, explores the enduring power of roots, the bittersweet ache of nostalgia, and the resilient spirit of those who navigate the currents of change. A profound meditation on identity, belonging, and the silent wisdom of nature, ‘The Mother Tree’ invites readers to listen to the whispers of the past and the enduring song of the human heart.

Translated with exquisite sensitivity by Dr. Hatem Mohammed Al-Shamea, this narrative transcends borders, offering a universal reflection on the human condition.
