المستخلص

Leila Aboulela is a novelist who thinks in Arabic and writes in English. Her novel, Minaret, is ‎an embodiment of the borderline between a home-made mentality and an outward broad ‎ambition. Gaining her theme and characterization a considerable amount of credibility, her ‎style remains the vital literary tool of expression. Aboullela has employed indirect methods of ‎presentation so skillfully to portray the tragedy of her heroine, Najwa, who is torn between the ‎luxuries of a prestigious family at home and the hazards of her days in London. The variations ‎of these indirect methods are used on a wide scale in the book, a fact that availed it a special ‎quality. Building upon a variety of concerned theorists in the field of speech and thought ‎presentation, the paper celebrates a painstakingly analysis of Abouellela's book that hovers ‎between Sudan and England.‎



‎ Key Words: Bakhtain, Free indirect speech, double-voiced discourse, Split identity
