Beautiful and painful.The Arabic translated edition of "The scar of David", only the euphorically refrained language employed by Ashour makes it a top notch.
I'm short on words to describe this.. Amazingly beautiful.This book made me feel everything, absolute joy, absolute sadness, it made my eyes tear up multiple times. I fell in love with Palestinians. Radwa Ashour did an excellent job with this book, I had to check the cover every once in a while to make sure that she's actually Egyptian not Palestinian. Hats off to Radwa Ashour, I'm looking forward to read her other books.
This narrative opens with a gloriously ambiguous, searingly romantic image that heralds a lyrical portrait of life in the narrator's idyllic home town on the Palestinian coast. The seeds of a story are sown and I joyfully anticipate a woman-centred tale of love, tradition and modernity set in this paradise and told in the voice of a poet. By whetting our appetite for this tale, by showing that it would be worth the telling as well as worth the living, Ashour imparts bitter anguish and loss when
The events are eye-openning and heart-breaking. The story is beautifully woven and written, but I ocassionaly got lost in all that is happening, going back and forth in the timeline, it was a little confusing and sometimes discouraging, despite that, I enjoyed it, enjoyed watching the characters, the differences between them, but wanted to know more about their lives, how they felt, wanted to get lost in their thoughts as I got lost in RoQaya's head.
This book has taken me aback and its story has stuck so deep in my mind, that led me to an obsessive search for people, and places and dates. I ended up finding an interesting (and infuriating) story about an academic whose masters thesis was rejected because he dared to tell the Tantoura's massacre story, Teddy Katz (more about it here). I've been looking for remains of Tantoura on Google Maps, and the little I've found makes me think how successful Israel has been on covering it's army's war
How many times have words failed to describe what goes on in our minds? Definitely this is one of them, because the uniqueness of this novel makes reviewing it a delicate task: what to praise and underline and what to leave to the reader to discover? Talk about the story line, the historic and historical figures, events, and details it describes, the seamlessly flowing narration, the depth and insight it delivers, the truths it reveals...etc.AlTantoureyyah is the story of Palestine over the past
