description: Questions about meaning and existence haunt Humeirah, filling her with a sense of dread and unease as she wonders why thoughts that bother her don’t bother others, why she isn’t happy with things that make women around her happy, and why she can’t fit in.Humeirah spends most of her time thinking, reading, destroying and reconstructing the ideas and beliefs she was raised with. This is the story of a woman who seeks something beyond freedom from a suffocating marriage and a cluster of people who don't understand her. “A story of a swim against the tide.” The Hindu, India"Humeirah…stands out as a particularly courageous story of looking within for answers." Vasudev Murthy, Author of What the Raags Told Me and Sherlock Holmes, The Missing Years: Timbuktu"Humeirah is the touching story of a philosophical quest." L'Express Dimanche, Mauritius"There is a depth to...[Humeirah]...that belies mere storytelling." The Sun, Malaysia
