About the book

After a painful divorce and a shattered heart, Inara Habib retreats to the quiet shores of Türkiye to rebuild her life. Surrounded by a found family and immersed in quiet routines, she isn’t looking for love — but it arrives anyway, in the form of Kareem Al Ajmal.

Kareem offers her a second chance at happiness, but with it comes the weight of his past and the storms he’s never truly faced.

As the cracks in their relationship begin to show, Inara must navigate the heartbreak of unmet expectations, emotional upheaval, and the fragile hope of healing yet again. Tuqburni – Bury Me Softly is a soulful exploration of love’s power to wound and to
restore, to break and to remake. A deeply human story of pain and devotion — where even goodbye becomes a sacred promise.
