As a postcolonial writer, Soueif has generously mingled personal and political spheres of her characters that will be in return marked by different forms of hybrid identities. This being the case, this paper intends to discuss the different manners that the writer enrols while she intersects colonial history with the personal journey of Asya and other characters as well. This paper is set to inform how much hybridity alongside colonial desire continues to be a central space of paradoxical interpretations and perplexed ambivalence among characters.Postcolonial, Hybridity, Ambivalence, colonial Desire, Transcultural.
