Description

A harrowing first-hand account of the first months in the Syrian revolution. Because of the outspoken views the author published in print and online, Yazbek quickly attracted the attention and fury of the regime. The lyrical narrative describes her struggle to protect herself and her young daughter, even as her activism propels her into a labyrinth of insecurity. A modest yet powerful testament.

Author

Samar Yazbek is a Syrian writer and journalist, born in Jableh in 1970. She is the author of several works of fiction. An outspoken critic of the Assad regime, but also of what she identifies as erroneous perceptions of ideological conformity within the Syrian Alawite community, Yazbek has been deeply involved in the Syrian uprising since it broke out in March, 2011. Fearing for the life of her daughter she was forced to flee her country and now lives in hiding. Yazbek was awarded the PEN/Pinter International Writer of Courage Award in 2012, awarded to an author of outstanding literary merit who casts an 'unflinching' eye on the world. She is also the author of the novel Cinnamon (2012).
