Awni Abdel Sadeq's 'As If It Happened' is a profound literary exploration that delves into the intricate web of destiny, memory, and the unsettling sensation that some events were always meant to unfold. The book masterfully weaves narratives that evoke the feeling of déjà vu, where the present moment seems to echo an experience already lived, or a fate already sealed. Abdel Sadeq invites readers to contemplate the thin veil between what is preordained and what is a consequence of choice, questioning the very fabric of time and personal agency. It's a journey into the philosophical depths of inevitability, examining how past echoes reverberate through our lives, shaping our perceptions and experiences in ways we might only recognize in retrospect, as if they had, indeed, always been destined.
