This collection of stories unfolds within the corridors of Cairo’s Breast Hospital and extends beyond them. They linger on the heavy moments experienced by women with breast cancer throughout their journeys, accompanying them as they rise and rebuild their fractured inner and outer worlds. The collection makes space for every voice, including cancer itself, which appears in an unconventional role — not as an enemy, but as a messenger. At its heart is an exploration of women’s relationships with their breasts, and of the relationship society has with them.
