Burning Cigarette - the Story of Two Souls & Their Journey to Stay United

Cairo, Egypt, September 7, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The world is not fair to two people in love, just because they come from different beliefs. Such love is often the victim of judgment, bigotry and criticism. Even today, regardless of how far the world has come along on the route to modernization and technical advancement, the ideologies of common people continue to stem from primitive thoughts and feelings about religious boundaries.

Rania Alaa, a budding author from Cairo brings to readers an engaging literary journey through her story about two hopeless souls in love who go through a great deal of pain, frustration and agony to find a balance in love and life. This tale is as real as it can get as the characters are so beautifully depicted, it is actually hard not to get involved.

Three million thoughts kept squeezing her brain, urging her to pull more and more puffs from her never ending cigarette just to calm the crowd within, but they were only getting more furious and agonized. She thought about jumping off her balcony on the eighth floor just so that the noise in her head would stop, even if for a minute. But she fears pain. She fears everything. A web of fear her sad life is, she thought.

Rania Alaa, Author

The story of ‘Burning Cigarette’ exposes the rigid religious barriers that exist today in the Middle East. It showcases the painful realities of those who struggle to justify their love that is deemed tainted because of the religious differences it brings.

This story is not just about a woman who falls in love outside her religion but, also about a generation’s attempt to oust the dictator ruler of the time. The depiction of a first-hand participant in the Arab_Spring is prevalent in the book, with #shocking (to say the least) surprises about how the Arab Spring smoothly shifted from the spontaneous hands of rebels on the street, to the neat chambers of politicians in Parliament.

While the underlying tone of the story outlines the #religious_bigotry of the #Middle_East, it also brings forward the tumultuous journey that people in love from different religions usually face. To love and lose is a sentiment that resonates through every page of the book keeping the reader glued to this emotionally riveting story that is bold and progressive.
