The Skylight Window by Fatima El-Sharnouby... In "The Skylight Window," the author opens a window into the life of Ruqayya, a teenage girl trapped between a burdensome past and a present searching for a way out. Ruqayya gazes at the world from her small balcony window, searching for traces of her father, while discovering within herself another world brimming with memories and questions. The novel paints a human journey full of contradictions, between childhood scenes marked by loneliness and deprivation, and attempts to reconcile with oneself. The author also explores the relationship between humanity, time, and memory, for as characters change, so do places, questioning the meaning of freedom in a world that seems to stifle dreams.
