وصلت نص الكتاب وكل قصة برأيي المتواضع أكثر بساطة وتفاهة من قبلها. بفهم انها قصص حرب لكن جات كثير باهتة ومافيه اي نوع من العمق. ما عجبني

لأن الحرب باتت عادة كتناول خبزنا اليومي، حملت لنا املي نصرالله باقة من ذكريات الحرب التي عايشتها لتنقلها لنا بأسلوبها السردي الجميل..

The best collection of short stories I've yet read. I really enjoyed her measured descriptions of dreams, thoughts, and reality. She doesn't indulge, and I like that.
