'Budding Nadine Gordimer…'
A very kind review on Amazon.com for Where the Sun Rises.
Where the Sun Rises Review!
Reviewed Amazon in the United States on December 17, 2019
“”Where The Sun Rises” by Suzanne Strong confronts the soul in ways reminiscent of Nadine Gordimer’s writing. The author’s ardent prose follows an earthy drumbeat that resonates in the manner of Hemingway’s “For Whom The Bell Tolls” yet it is made all the more poignant by Strong’s empathetic touch.
The story unwinds the most recent tragedy for the Kurdish people in Syria seen through the eyes of two women friends. Daesh beheadings and atrocities perpetrated against their family members, friends and neighbors enrage Karin and Roza and provoke them to enlist in the Kurdish Women’s Brigade where they make war employing guts and daring.
Experience the ISIS siege of Kobane on the ground and feel the way a woman brings the tragedy of the war in Syria and the ongoing struggle of the Kurdish people to life.”

Martin Luther …
“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.”
Martin Luther
This is a powerful quote, from a man who did pick up his pen and change the western world forever. His words were the catalyst required to make a reformation, desperately needed at the time. His words in this quote are particularly apt, true and profound. I love Martin Luther what a brave man!
