Three Continents Pr (1994), Paperback, 217 pages
Description
A revealing study of a girl growing to maturity in middle-class Syria and of her family's struggle to survive in the tumultuous years of 1940-1961 in Damascus. Attar's work shows a keen eye for the daily scene, a keen ear for conversation, and a tragic sense of history. Reflecting the rapid sociopolitical changes in Syria that exalted some, but crushed others, it marks anew the patterns of family life, love, and death.
