Why I wrote this Novel
when I started to write this novel I asked some of my friends whether they can find an issue in the Coptic Muslims relations in Egypt, and most of them said "No we don't think so". Those friends and relatives mostly were middle class with a very open minded ways of thinking and mostly having so many christian friends as most of my generation. But I was knowing that this is not the situation among so many other parts of the society.
I know a friend who refused to take chocolate from a priest when we went to make a feature about a crises in the city of Garbage one day in the beginning of the nineties.
I was knowing the my youngest sister , on the contrary of our generation have no christian friends among her community. I know that the situation in the country side is awful between Muslims and Christians, That's why I decided to write about the Love relation between the Egyptian Christians and Muslims where no one wanted to see that Love is more powerful than hate.
