Author, TAREK REFAAT is a gifted writer to bring even the small details to words. It is a short novel; however, I took time to read it again and again as it was very much gratifying to read.‘Ruptured’ is a story of a rape victim, Farida, and her struggle to get away from the nightmares that caused by the bitter incident. Initially, I found it filled with suspense; however the story advanced with a predictable plot. Characters were interesting and likable.This is the first book I've read by TAREK REFAAT, but won't be my last. The story is refreshing… and has a feeling that someone in some part of the world might be surviving this kind of situation… I understood the agony of rape victims as TAREK narrates it very well through his character, Farida, so that I myself felt the frustration, shame, anger and a mixture of many negative emotions. Kudos to TAREK, he did it well. Looking forward to reading the next book from him. Good read. Recommended.
