Schrijfster vertelt hoe zij op driejarige leeftijd is moeten vluchten voor de oprukkende Israëlische soldaten (Zesdaagse Oorlog). "We lagen in een dreppel en dachten om de piloten van de aanvallende Israëlische vliegtuigen te vragen om de oorlog te laten ophouden. We hoorden voetstappen vanuit de dreppel en met gedempte stemmen hoorden we van de stroom mensen uit de naburige dorpen dat deze hun huizen ontvlucht waren. Na de luchtaanvallen werden alle huizen uitgekamd. Ze (Israëlische soldaten) schieten op alles wat beweegt." aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"When a war ends it does not go away," my mother says. "It hides inside us . . . Just forget!" But I do not want to do what Mother says . . . I want to remember. In this groundbreaking memoir set in Ramallah during the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War, Ibtisam Barakat captures what it is like to be a child whose world is shattered by war. With candor and courage, she stitches together memories of her childhood: fear and confusion as bombs explode near her home and she is separated from her family; the harshness of life as a Palestinian refugee; her unexpected joy when she discovers Alef, the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. This is the beginning of her passionate connection to words, and as language becomes her refuge, allowing her to piece together the fragments of her world, it becomes her true home. Transcending the particulars of politics, this illuminating and timely book provides a telling glimpse into a little-known culture that has become an increasingly important part of the puzzle of world peace.
