Text in Arabic. The "Blood and Flesh" novel might seem an ordinary story about wealth and poverty, love that have not be attained, or even the excessive attachment to life's amenities instead of seeing the true essence of matters; but in fact it carries a more far and deep meanings than these as it triggers questions about life, death, love and how important believing in Allah is. Francois Mauriac, the famous French novelist, succeeded in drafting each character in his novel, who all struggled with themselves to find their identities, despite their social differences, cultural backgrounds, their customs, and belief. A novel worth reading for what is carried between its pages on revelation, confession, secrets, and search for elusive answers.
