5.0 out of 5 stars
An incredibly moving and powerful book,
By Natalie A. Pavlis (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pillars of Salt (Interlink World Fiction) (Paperback)
I love reading the work of Arab women writers so I was happy to try reading Fadia Faqir. The book centres upon the stories of two women in an insane asylum in Jordan. As the book unfolds, the stories of the women and how they come to be in the asylum is told. The book must be read in order to appreciate the beauty of the writing. Ms. Faqir is able to powerfully relate the stories of the two women making each one compelling. Never have I read such an incredible description of the pain and grief associated with losing a loved one as in this book; it is not for the faint of heart. Anyone who just loves beauty would adore this book and also "Memory in the Flesh" by Ahlam Mostaghemi.

This review is from: Pillars of Salt (Interlink World Fiction) (Paperback)
A haunting and beautiful story set in Jordan, a friendship between two women, a contrast to the desert and the city. Not to be forgotten. Jan, Tucson
