Set in early 20th-century Beirut, the story follows the tender yet tragic romance between the narrator and Selma Karamy, a young woman trapped in an arranged marriage by the social and cultural constraints of the time.
Through lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Gibran examines the beauty of love as well as the pain of its unattainability, highlighting the spiritual connection between the lovers and the heartbreak that results when societal norms prevent them from being together. The Broken Wings is a meditation on the nature of true love, personal freedom, and the sacrifices demanded by life's harsh realities.
Gibran's poetic style and philosophical insights make this novel a timeless reflection on the fragility of the human heart and the universal longing for freedom and love.
