In this book the author illuminates a century of Arab life and history through the stories of her mother, Hilda Musa Said, and her Teta, "Granny" Munira Badr Musa. Against the backdrop of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Arab nationalism, the founding of Israel, the Suez crisis, the Arab-Israeli Wars, and the Civil War in Beirut, she reveals the extraordinary courage of these ordinary women, while rethinking the notions of "traditional" and "modern", "East" and "West." With a loving eye, acute intelligence, and elegant impassioned prose, the author has written more than a memoir, rather and embrace of history and culture. A clean pristine copy.
