Synopsis of Flynn's novel, Willow Roots
Flynn, the revolutionary slave, was born in the city of Khartoum during the Turkish era, bound by the ownership of slavery that he inherited from his parents, who were owned by the wealthy merchant Abu Al-Saud Agha. At the age of nine, his master's daughter, Khairiya, surprised him with a warm kiss. From his high balcony, his master watched the romantic scene, so he decided to teach his boy a lesson that he would never forget. He inspired Flynn's mother to prepare him for circumcision, so he castrated him. The eunuch slave grew soft in his master’s house, and the tragedy grew with him. He met Sisbana, the beautiful slave girl, the illegitimate daughter of his master Abu Al-Saud. Where a strong emotional relationship developed between them, it was like warm rain falling on a smooth rock. On his first romantic date, ugliness is revealed. Spiritual love, which transcends the desires of the flesh, triumphs when Sisbana clings to her love for Finn. Flynn decided to avenge his honor from those who had caused his misery (his master, Abu Al-Saud Agha, Al-Hakim Pasha, Mazhar Farhat, and Abdul-Khair, the slave owned by the Jewish merchant Isaac Levy). In a moment of sincere spiritual love, Sisbana inspired him to join the Mahdi armies that besieged Khartoum. With Sesbana's help, Flynn succeeds in escaping Khartoum and joins the rebel armies. There he met Sheikh Musa Abu Hajal, who refined his soul. Coincidence brings him together with his first prey, Abdul Khair, only to discover that he, like him, was a victim of the whims of his master, the gay Jewish merchant. Flynn enters the city of Khartoum with the revolutionaries to clear part of the debt stuck on the neck of Al-Hakim Pasha Mazhar Farhat in the hospital, where he meets his friend Morgan, who was falsely accused of killing General Gordon. But he fails to reach his love, Sisbana, and his arch rival, his master Abu Al-Saud, who fled to the city of Berber in northern Sudan. Flynn decides to join Prince Abdul Hamman Al-Nujoumi's brigade, heading north to chase Gordon's rescue campaign, which has reached the outskirts of the city of Berber. Sesbana falls into captivity and is taken in by the prince's lieutenant. She moves to live with him in the city of Omdurman, where she gives birth to a son whom she names Flynn out of love for her. Coincidence created Flynn at that moment and in the same place. After redeeming his religion from Abu Al-Saud, from among the willow bushes, Flynn witnessed the tragic scene clearly. The wooden boat is a burning mass of flame. Burnt bodies floated on the surface. A group of British soldiers boarded the boat. The child greeted them with two index fingers pointed at their chests. And immortal phrases (Boom, boom, die, die) like bullets that pierced their hearts. Flynn watched them pull the child out of the burning rubble. The looks exchanged between the thick smoke between Flynn and the child are like stray arrows that two lovers exchange, penetrating their hearts, exploding into a ball full of sincere sentimental feelings. A magnetic aura of attractive sensations and feelings fixed deep within the human soul with the pegs of human relationships. Flynn fell unconscious from the intensity of the explosion, while the English ship headed north with the young child on board. That scene remained stuck in Flynn’s mind, just as those phrases remained engraved on the wall of the mind of the little boy, Mustafa Wad Barbar (James Francis), like a tattoo of a Negro tribe that will never go away.
The dream that woke me up:
The story is a situation that expresses the child’s lack of interest in cleanliness and how his friend advised him, but he did not care and returned to his home. When he slept, he dreamed of the incorrect behavior that he had committed, and then the dialogue that took place between him and the characters of the story until he came to his senses and corrected his mistake, and the value of cleanliness and sustainability was established.
