“The Abduction refers to an autobiographical event in Al-Masri’s life. When, as a young Arab
woman living in France, she decides to separate from her husband with whom she has a child,
the father kidnaps the baby and returns to Syria. The Abduction is the story of a woman who is
denied the basic right to raise her child. Al-Masri won’t see her son for thirteen years. These are
haunting poems of love, despair, and hope in a delicate, profound and powerful book on
intimacy, a mother’s rights, war, exile, and freedom.”
