Review by Theresa Wolfwood
“I do not intend to write journal or history of my family...these memoirs might be described as a history of some landmarks of the age in which I lived...”
Readers should not be put off by the naïve and simple style of writing in this memoir. The author, lauded in the Arab world for her early bold feminism, writes with clear insight and impassioned engagement about a complex and conflict-ridden period of history in Lebanon and its neighbouring states; complexities and conflicts that are still with us today.
