Abdelrahman Munif's 'When We Left the Bridge' is a powerful novel that delves into the profound psychological and emotional landscape of displacement and exile. The book masterfully portrays characters grappling with the aftermath of leaving their homeland, exploring their struggle to forge new identities while haunted by memories of the past. Munif's evocative narrative examines themes of belonging, the elusive concept of home, and the complex interplay between individual fate and historical events. It is a compelling meditation on loss, resilience, and the enduring human quest for meaning amidst profound change.
