THE YEARS OF SILENCE is believed to be the FIRST English-language ROMANCE novel by an Egyptian author born and raised in Egypt. Blurb: After a tragic incident, divorced and heartbroken, Egyptian 27-year-old Maya Seif is determined to move on, and find a new career in publishing. When she realizes she can't get Yusuf, her first love, out of her mind, she decides to email him. Yusuf Omar, an ambitious American-born, Egyptian-raised man is a thousand miles away from Egypt, and going through difficult times himself. The last thing he expects is an email, after all these years of silence, from the young woman he was in love with seven years ago. Between Egypt and New York, little do they know how their lives are about to change forever, but not until they overcome the most difficult challenge. Narrated by Maya, this is a story of great love lost and found, and the risks two people in love are willing to take to be together when their love is the greatest risk of all. "The exotic detail of Egypt truly brings the reader right into the homes located thousands of miles away. A story well worth reading." -- Coffee Time Romance "The Years of Silence is contemporary romance at its best..." -- Thomma Lyn Grindstaff, author of Mirror Blue "A poignant and moving debut book. I love Marwa's voice, the novel is so beautifully told." -- Kim Michele Richardson, author of The Unbreakable Child "This is writing at its very best. This is definitely a romance book everyone, whether male or female, should pick up and read. It would be quite reasonable to say that Marwa Ayad is Egypt’s Danielle Steele." -- Amr Shehata, Egyptian author "You're a queen when it comes to contemporary fiction. Wow!" -- Rasha Adel, Egyptian poet and writer Buy my book here: http://bookspotonline.com/middle.php?file=bookdetails&bookid=43933 6629696 1 2009 The Years of Silence total:12|5:6|4:2|3:3|2:1| 12 49 53 7 6439785 9776262406 9789776262409 12 7 4.08 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1241290344m/6439785.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6439785-the-years-of-silence 5 5 false Fri May 15 17:03:32 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 21:57:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6439785 9776262406 9789776262409 12 7 4.08 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1241290344m/6439785.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6439785-the-years-of-silence 4 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 09:09:18 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 08:53:51 -0700 2009
