Stray Hearts

Description

In Stray Hearts, Fatima Wahidi weaves a rich tapestry of human experience through stories that linger long after the final page. From a photographer’s tender bond with his beloved camera, to a street child’s silent battles, to a woman wrestling to reconcile her past with her present — each story is a world unto itself, alive with emotion and truth.

Translated from Arabic with care and craft by Hatem Mohammed Al-Shamea, this anthology journeys across bustling cities and quiet rural landscapes, exploring the universal themes of love, grief, resilience, and the deep human need to belong. Wahidi’s evocative prose gives voice to the overlooked and the overlooked corners of the heart, reminding us that no matter how lost we feel, something in us always searches for home.

A beautifully rendered collection for readers who love intimate, character-driven fiction that transcends borders and speaks to the soul.
