Quarantine

Quarantine

✍️ Written by: Dalia Issa
A novel about isolation, anxiety, and the search for survival in a world plagued by silence.

In this dark and captivating novel, Dalia Issa presents us with a narrative text written with a highly sensitive eye and a pen that delves into the inner layers of humanity.
"Quarantine" is not just the name of a place where patients or those suspected of being sick are confined... but it is a major metaphor for a world ruled by isolation, fear, and bitter waiting.

From the very first line, the writer pushes us into a closed space: characters exchanging silence, a past creeping in as obsessions, and spaces confined between walls and memories.
Quarantine here is not a physical infection, but a spiritual infection , spreading within souls until they lose their balance and begin to slowly erode.

🦠 What does "quarantine" mean in the novel?

It is not just a place for quarantine , but a symbolic image of:

A life besieged by disappointments and expectations

Corroded and irreparable relationships

Fear of the other... and an even greater fear of oneself

The fragility of memory when it is trapped in a windowless room

The novel questions and dismantles reality, without giving the reader direct answers, but rather inviting him to reflect on an existential human condition that recurs across time and space.

🖋 About the style:

The language in this novel is not merely a means of storytelling, but a living entity that reflects psychological tension, slowing down when melancholy seeps in, and speeding up when anxiety overwhelms the characters.
Dalia Issa uses an intense style, ranging between poetic sentences and philosophical reflection, creating an atmosphere of awe and beauty at the same time .

📘 Whose novel is this?

For readers interested in the literature of isolation and the marginalized individual

For those who have read the works of Camus and Franz Kafka and love to delve into the inner world of man

For those seeking a text devoid of vulgarity, that expresses pain without shouting

For anyone who has experienced an external or internal stone, and wants to rediscover their voice in texts

🧭 What will you learn after reading it?

You will realize that true illness is not measured by body temperature, but by the amount of silence we carry within us.

You will discover that the whole world can be condensed into a single room, if the soul is suspended within it.

You will empathize with all those who have "remained silent for too long," and you will rethink the meaning of isolation and survival.
