When the Haboob Sings

When the Haboob Sings

Author(s): Nejoud Al-Yagout

Location(s): Kuwait

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Contemporary

When Dunya Khair writes a controversial article in the newspaper challenging the status quo in her country, the response–ranging from adulation to death threats–is swift. Faced with the dissolution of familial ties and the prospective collapse of her marriage, alongside a looming nervous breakdown, Dunya’s consequent actions exemplify both the strength and frailty of the human spirit. When the Haboob Sings paints a poignant picture of a woman whose unshakeable resolve to preserve her authenticity costs her more than she ever imagined.
