Excellent Work. Orfali is a great storyteller. HOLLYWOOD-take a look at this book! What wonderful movies it could make! I highly recommend Blue Fire to anyone looking for a good story. I hope to see more from Orfali.

The book offers many different stories full of human feelings that make us reflect deep in our selves. It makes us think of pain and death with a new different way. very interesting and attractive till the last page.

Congradulation author.

I was one of the first to read Blue Fire before it hit the market; it is a very impressive book.The stories are interesting and full of action.They are full of dialogue and read like TV scripts. The title story, however, is very intriguing concering the paternity isssue of the hero and the ensuing events that deal with almost every aspect in our lives, family, drugs, murder and politics. Another story that touched more was A Rose From Me. I'm a Catholic and I related that story to the struggle in Ireland. The poems are equally interseting and address contemporary and humanistic issues. I was espicially impressed by the poem Flip-Flop in its diversity of addressing more than one political issue. I felt as if I was looking at a photo gallery. Perhaps what touched me more was the poem Flower in The Cold. This heartbreaking poem about a dying child brought tears to my eyes. I strongly recommend this book.

Hi Huda,

I was really honoured to know you in person and seat with you in acafe in Damascus last summer. Actually what amazed me is your humble character and your imaginative mind. You have the potential and the capacity to be a great writer known worldwide. I promise you will have a very brilliant future. Keep writing and God may bless you.

The character Marc (or, Marco) drifts through Orfali's stories, bringing hope and compassion to often hopeless or brutal situations. Orfali is the real Marc, in that she gives a devastatingly honest view of life's cruelty, yet brings optimism to that view. However, she does so without giving easy, contrived solutions. She also does so with charming characters and believable dialogue.

Her poems range from depictions of her Syrian homeland to scenes from treasured myths and legends. My favorite of the poems is "Flip, Flop." The narrator of that poem forces us to consider the results of violence, who is to blame for it, and who can help stop it; yet the poem also manages to surprise the reader. For that matter, Orfali's work is a constant surprise.

Blue Fire is one of the most wonderful story books I've ever read. It deals with all aspects of our lives. I certainlly beneffited from the medical information. This new way of handlind illness and death is certainly interesting. death is just a "flight unto the sun", a new beginning. I wish the author good luck in future writing. I hope she will be more optimistic in her future writing.
