In her novel 'Hayta Laka,' Iraqi author Widad Al-Jourani masterfully uses the evocative Quranic phrase to delve into the complex lives of women in a turbulent society. The narrative explores themes of suppressed desire, temptation, and the haunting power of memory against the backdrop of Iraq's social and political turmoil. It's a profound examination of female agency and the difficult choices individuals make when their personal longings clash with societal expectations and the heavy weight of history.
