    The kick of the baby inside her womb rocked her world one more time. Her mother in her womb, a dream. A work of insanity of unbearable pain. Paved the way of her losing whatever sense of security, of safety, of love, and all what is beautiful in this life. Death snatched her mom away.…

  • قبل السفر

    قرأت رواية قبل السفر ل علا عليوات قبل أيام من سفري أنا وتركي عمّان وللعائلة والأصدقاء للدراسة. أحيانا يخيل لي بأن قراءاتي تتناسب مع الحالة التي أمر بها، وكأن هنالك قوة خفية ترسل لي كتب تتقاطع في محتواها مع المرحلة الزمنية البسيطة التي يحتاجها قراءة ذلك الكتاب. قبل السفر رواية اخرى من مدونة أردنية شابة تحمل…
