Every writer undergoes a unique journey guided by their very own compass. Similarly, Maisoon Saqr Al Qassimi has traveled through time and space through her novels Pearl in My Mouth and Reesh Café – An Eye on Egypt.
Maisoon Saker Al Qassimi discusses her own literary voyage, and invites us to explore how it has taken her through reading ancient Egyptian scriptures and developing the right mindset to write to searching for her voice in her fiction. Where will the compass take us next? Let’s find out together!
