"Senses in Coma" by Jihan Faiz is an exciting novella that describes the emotions of a soul while the body is in a coma. The author writes about the protagonist's experience of laying still, with eyes open, staring at the white light, and the perspective of the outer world looking in at them. The book as a literary fiction explores the fundamental truths about herself, the world, and her relationships. The book is exquisitely filled with descriptions keeping the reader engaged till the end. It carries a reader to the evasive senses of the protagonist. Along with the protagonist, the reader also gets healed as her inner soul grows and gets matured bringing a 'balance to the chaotic situation she faced in her life'. The language used is lucid and accessible. With several vagueness and ambiguity, the book is eloquently written.
