in 1923.Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and
needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before,
are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are

I Saw Her in My Dreams is a powerful novel about interpersonal and
systemic violence, examined through the lens of a relationship
between Zahiyya, an anxious middle-class Omani artist, and Faneesh,
the Ethiopian domestic worker she hires. When Zahiyya's husband
Amer, a novelist, leaves for Zanzibar in search of his biological
mother, Zahiyya is left to confront her anxieties and prejudices.
Both Zahiyya and Faneesh begin to suffer a recurring nightmare,
prompting Zahiyya to read Fanheesh's diaries in search of answers.
Alone and afraid, Zahiyya reads excerpts from Amer's novel, written
from his father's diaries about living in Zanzibar, where he fell
in love with Amer's mother, a Zanzibari woman whose absence still
haunts him. Weaving between multiple perspectives and stories
within stories, the novel explores honestly-but without
sensationalizing or self-Orientalizing-the anti-Blackness that has
endured in the Arab world and elsewhere.
