Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-12 00:00:00 Jennifer E Combs A powerful and moving reflection on the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). I am left in awe of those who managed to live through the brutalities of that war It is full of striking passages. One of the shortest and very relevant to the present with Syrian refugees in Lebanon numbering a quarter of the more permanent inhabitants of Lebanon, the Lebanese: We are a land of refugees, a people of refugees, coming from everywhere, going nowhere

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-15 00:00:00 Brooke Clemens After years of not reading about the Lebanese war, not to try to forget but simply not to remember the feelings, the misery, the death and destruction, the anger of a 15 years useless war, I fell Into this book and a barrage of memories and emotions filled my space taking me back to those years when I was a child born in one of the most unreasonable and chaotic war. The author gives a realistic, honest and true description of her day to day life, living the moment not knowing if there will be another, a state that some 2 millions other Lebanese experienced for 15 years. Thank you Jean for sharing your story, away from any glorification of any faction or warlord but simply focusing on the human being experience which everyone seems to forget
