Ten weeks beside the river

Book name: Ten Weeks by the River Author: Abdullah Al Wasail Publisher: Maskilianni Number of pages: 282 Book classification: Novel Summary of the book: Translation has long been a means for peoples to open up to the culture of others with its various components, but it can also be a way for a person to undertake an internal journey into their authentic culture to understand roots that have grown far from it. Such is the case of "Mira," the heroine of the novel, an Arab-origin girl born in America. Translation cast her into the depths of a deeper internal search within a small community filled with the discord that exists among things and opposites, and the most violent forms of discord erupted among Arab writers from social complexes and political problems carried by the "Arab Spring."
