A revealing study of a girl and woman in middle class Syria and of her family changing and sometimes barely surviving in the tumultuous days of the 1950-60 period of Damascus. This work shows a ferocious eye for the daily scene, a cat’s ear for conversation, and a tragic sense of history. 213 pages.
