The Book

A war no one else can see

Love becomes memory. Memory becomes obsession. And obsession becomes a war.

Across white walls, closed doors, voices, roses, light and darkness, The War of Emotions follows one mind through desire, loss and the struggle to find a way back from the edge.

Written as a narrative in chapters, numbered sections and verses, Vas Rabani's debut turns an intimate emotional crisis into a private mythology: a journey through hell, and towards the possibility of remaining.

“There I am.”
