The Hidden Light of Objects

Stories hidden in ordinary objects, memories, spaces, and light that lingers between them.

In this evocative collection, Mai Al-Nakib illuminates the quiet power of objects to hold memory, longing, and history. Each story draws readers into the intimate lives of her characters across homes, countries, and generations showing how seemingly ordinary things can carry profound emotional weight. Through deft prose, Al-Nakib weaves together moments of love, loss, exile, and identity, revealing how the past lingers in the smallest details.

The Hidden Light of Objects is a meditation on the connections between people, places, and the objects that witness our lives. Al-Nakib’s lyrical storytelling transforms the mundane into something magical and reflective, allowing readers to see everyday life as both fragile and extraordinary.

Haunting, tender, and deeply moving, this collection reminds us that even the smallest objects can hold the light of human experience, illuminating stories that often go untold.
