Reviews

[Amal A · Rating 5 out of 5]

عظيم، وسلمى الجيوسي عظيمة باختياراتها، في الأدب القصصي والروائي، والسيرة الذاتية. أعجبني الفصل الأخير (السيرة الذاتية) لأنها سردت وقائع من الحياة الفلسطينية وجوانبها في العيش والنضال والتهجير وتاريخ النكبات. سير ووقائع متفرّقة لأشخاص مختلفين لكن أساسهم واحد: المعاناة الفلسطينية.
