Book Overview
The Color of Our Names is a literary novella about identity, love, and the quiet courage it takes to live truthfully in societies that demand silence.
Set between Alexandria, Cairo, and New York, the story follows four interconnected lives. Fareed learns to navigate devotion and desire under the weight of expectation. Far from home, Nelly searches for belonging in unfamiliar light. Christina begins to sense a truth blooming before it has a name. Nouran claims independence while holding love gently-and at risk.
As faith and longing intertwine, these lives move toward the possibility of being seen-not all at once, but in color. Told with emotional restraint and cultural nuance, The Color of Our Names explores queerness, belief, migration, and the spaces between what is lived and what is allowed.
This novella is for readers drawn to character-driven literary fiction that lingers quietly, asking difficult questions and offering tenderness in return.
