Representaion In Favor Of Books Incendies (Le Sang des Promesses #2)
Lorsque le notaire Lebel fait aux jumeaux Jeanne et Simon Marwan la lecture du testament de leur mère Nawal, il réveille en eux l'incertaine histoire de leur naissance: qui donc fut le père, et par quelle odyssée ont-ils vu le jour loin du pays d'origine de leur mère? En remettant à chacun une enveloppe, destinées l'une à ce père qu'ils croyaient mort et l'autre à leur frère dont ils ignoraient l'existence, il fait bouger les continents de leur douleur: dans le livre des heures de cette famille, des drames insoupçonnés les attendent, qui portent les couleurs de l'irréparable. Mais le prix à payer pour que s'apaise l'âme tourmentée de Nawal risque de dévorer les destins de Jeanne et de Simon.Mention Books To Incendies (Le Sang des Promesses #2)

So far I seem to be accomplishing this in reverse. That said, I love this terribly beautiful story. I will submit a more complete review once I've read the original. Update: I've now read the original French version, but I'm far too lazy to write a more complete review (since in my laziness I know I wouldn't be able to do the

Sometimes theater moves me. Sometimes it surprises me. And still other times it makes me cry. Scorched did all of those things, but more importantly, it shocked me. It left me speechless and kept me up late several nights.I first learned about the text when I was asked to play young Nawal in a scene for a directing class. I learned the Arabic alphabet, ran the scene, and thought very little about the play after. Two years later, I was asked to work on another scene for the show, playing Nihad in
"Childhood is a dagger stabbed in your throat". This play is a dagger stabbed in your heart and I'm afraid it is going to leave not a scar but an open wound. It's an old story but a brand new one. It takes place in a far away land but also very near. It is a Greek tragedy and a 21th century play. Wajdi Mouawad is able to tell the cruelest, saddest, most violent stories but he does it in the most beautiful way. He can find beauty in the midst of chaos, in a world devastated by war, by means of
