My eyes only
lightened during moments of despair, as if suffering were a
bleach, the price to be paid for the "beautiful."

Chapter 1 - Eyebrows

"...I realized that eyebrows are comparable to life experience and cannot be identical. There is always something in them from the woman they belong to."

My Dreadful Body, chapter I: Eyebrows. “My brows seemed to expand daily, occupying more and more space between my eyelids. If my girlfriends had something like pale vines, then I had the huge dark wings of a mountain bird.” Been there! 📚🤨 #Djabbarova26 #MyDreadfulBody #WomenInTranslation

Did a resemblance of faces result in a resemblance of fates? Were there similar fates for the heroines of Nizami Ganjavi's poems?

In many situations, "it's finally allowed" had replaced the reproving "forbidden."

The skin reddened quickly after recognizing the bitterness of loss, as if it mourned each tiny hair. Twenty minutes later, new brows nad replaced the old, engraved on the skin like an ornament on a vase.
