Pickpick

An honest - at times touching, at times horrifying - eyewitness account by a Christian British-Singaporean woman surgeon on the Sabra and Shatila massacres and what followed them. A heavy read, but also an amazing, amazing, amazing book that gives you hope - there are still some good people out there.

Happening now. (A self-respecting Arab bookworm is no real bookworm until they have read at least one Naguib Mahfouz, no?)

The.Bookish.Duchess You have to read his other works. His writing is brilliant. ❤ 8y
halmukhtar @SabaMahjoor It really is! I stayed in Cairo for a while years ago, and I don't know if this makes any sense, but his writing definitely reminds me of that wonderful city - poetic, descriptive, colourful... 👀 8y
The.Bookish.Duchess I have never been to Egypt but one day I would love to go. His books really give you a feel of the place and people. Another writer Elif Shafak from Turkey is brilliant. Her book The Forty Rules of Love is such in inspiring read! 8y
MrBook Ooh, nice! Thank you for the recommendation, always looking to expand my horizons ☺️. I have a friend who did some archaeological digging in college. 8y

Read this a while ago, but still obsessing about it and the whole women's WWII war efforts issue. Didn't learn much about that back in school, smh. #history #herstory #wwii
