In the novel a narrator tells and retells the story of a marriage, each time from different character's perspective. In Naguib Mahfouz's 1981 novel Wedding Song , the narrator tells and retells the story of a marriage from the very different perspectives of the main characters, deepening the reader's understanding of “what happened in the end we read the true story by the main narrator (the husband)." In ramadan of 2016 there was an Egyptian TV series with same name.[1][2][3]
