Sawsan, Tūlīb wa al-Ākhariyāt (Sawsan, Tulip, and the Others) is a poignant collection of short stories by Syrian author Najwá Ghālib Nādir, published in 2024 by Sameh Publishing. Spanning 98 pages, the book follows eight women on a seaside retreat, where they spend their final night sharing deeply personal stories under the moonlight.
Each woman recounts a trauma or unresolved event from her life, in a ritual of emotional release—casting her pain into the sea before returning to her city. The stories explore:
Grief, memory, and healing through storytelling
The bond of female friendship and shared vulnerability
A narrative style that blends psychological depth with lyrical simplicity
Themes of loss, resilience, and catharsis
The book is both intimate and universal, offering a mosaic of voices that reflect the emotional landscapes of Arab women across generations.
