"لا يزال عالقًا في الأحد، بينما انتقل العالم كله إلى يوم الاثنين. يخشى أكثر أن تختلط عليه الآحاد فلا يعود قادرًا على تمييز الأحد الذي يعقبه الاثنين، فتدوم الآحاد الملعونة أسبوعًا آخر.كلما اقتربت الساعة من الثانية عشرة ليلًا، فكر في القفز من نافذة الأحد، وليحدث ما يحدث، غير أنه في الحقيقة يخاف أن يرتطم بالجمعة
This collection includes a collection of sentimental poems that translate and embody reality, feelings, and events that I lived and were influenced by, so I recorded them in poetry. As for “The Secret of Love,” the name of the main poem of this collection, it is an emotional human experience that I was affected by and in which I shared with other people.. The Secret of Love is a title. It exudes rich connotations, as love remains the secret of hearts. Its sources are pure and pure humanity, and its meanings are higher than all calculations.
The secret of love is its emphasis on the human dimension of emotional relationships with great connotations. The collection tried to translate it with its poems through the images, ideas, and vocabulary it included.
If these poems are able to further build bridges of love or spread some of the sweetness of their meanings, then they have reached their destination and achieved success.
Before concluding my speech, I extend my heartfelt thanks to my honorable brother and friend, the poet Rashid Sharar, for his valuable introduction and review of the collection. And God is the Grantor of success.

A journey in aromas
A girl enters a nunnery with a box and a wedding dress. A woman follows a homeless woman wearing a green dress through the streets of the city. A third woman’s life changes after visiting her husband’s family cemetery, and she keeps searching for herself, for a “place.” And a fourth woman is lost in a world of gray, brown, and purple faces, above which a tree floats. She survives, and a fifth woman visits Istanbul with her husband and stays in the same hotel where Agatha Christie once stayed, and the lives of the two intersect in a mysterious way.
These five women are the heroines of Cristina Fernandez Cubas, who narrates a special magic that overwhelms us, seduces us, arouses our anger, and fills us with images, feelings, descriptions, and fantasies, before which we cannot be astonished, by the ability of her writer, to create a dreamy atmosphere in a unique literary style.
