War Time Nostalgia

£20.00

In the crucible of conflict, where the echoes of a fractured past meet fragile threads of hope, Abdul Fattah’s journey becomes a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Fleeing the brutal aftermath of war, he carries not only his daughters but the indelible scars of a homeland torn by division. From the vibrant streets of Aden to the stark realities of exile, War Time Nostalgia unfolds a poignant saga of displacement, identity, and the relentless pursuit of peace.

Shatha Al-Khateeb’s masterful narrative, rendered into English by Hatem Mohammed Al-Shamea with the title thoughtfully translated by Prof. Abdelrahman Al Dirbiji, invites readers to confront the cost of conflict and the quiet strength found in the heart’s deepest longings—a stirring exploration of memory, belonging, and the enduring search for a safe haven.
