The book brings for the first time to Brazilian readers this powerful account about the meanings, dimensions and implications of the diaspora as symbolized by the relation between two generations of <strong>Syrian women<\/strong>. The book is on presale on the website of publisher Tabla and will be shipped on March 20.<\/p>\n<p>In the book, the reader gets to know the stories of a women-headed family through the dialogues between the narrator and her mother. <strong>Dima Wannus<\/strong> paints portraits of these women and the twists and turns of their lives with a concise, bright, straightforward and witty language.<\/p>\n<p>They go over the times, not so long ago, where they were a large family, all women, living in <strong>Damascus<\/strong>. In flashbacks, her mother chronicles every detail of what has been forever lost to them; the morning light in Damascus, the taste of her sister\u2019s cooking, the sound of her closet\u2019s doors, the smell of the wood. From this noisy and chatty family of exceptional women, only the narrator and her mother now remain, raking over the embers of all that was lost in a cold and temporary London apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Dima Wannus is a <strong>Syrian writer<\/strong> born in 1982. She studied French literature at Damascus University and the Sorbonne. She has written for newspapers such as <em>Al-Hayat<\/em>, <em>As-Safir<\/em>, and <em>The Washington Post<\/em> and the online outlet <em>Jadaliyya<\/em>. In 2009, she was selected among the best 39 most talented Arab writers under the age of 40 by the <strong>Beirut39<\/strong> project.
