Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Coming from the same generation as the author, and also powerfully influenced and affected by the worldwide social changes of the 60s, I welcome this novel as a heart-felt salutation to women who struggled to change society's traditional views of women s so-called place in the world, as well as a reminder to others to keep on doing that. --Margaret Obank Banipal Magazine

The struggle to be an independent woman living a fulfilled life in a world that doesn 't really care what happens to her is rendered with sharp-eyed clarity and unnerving charm in this novel by leading Syrian author Ghada Samman. --BookBlast

At the core of Samman's writing is a cry for individual liberty... her work exhibits a boldness that defies restriction... her interesting blend of surrealism and verisimilitude, allows her to be simultaneously poetic and political in her prose writing... Samman's perceptive and creative works seem to function as literary wake-up calls for those willing to listen. --Pauline Homsi Vinson - Al Jadid Magazine

Reseña del editor:

Farewell Damascus, set in the city during the early 1960s, is both a paean to a beloved homeland and an ode to human dignity. Armed with her customary humor, pathos, and knack for suspense, Ghada Samman fearlessly tackles issues that roil societies across the globe to this day.
