Description
A miserable, sorrowful life filled with numerous events and relocations that the author and his family have become accustomed to, each member bearing their fate—a social destiny that surrounds the family within the confines of poverty, oppression, and persecution. This is because the greater power of feudalism, princes, and the gendarmerie imposes it upon them. Hanna Mina presents the events in the fragments of “Images” through the eyes of a child whose almost neutral gaze serves as the narrator’s voice.
The family then moves to “The Harvest,” spending days on a farm picking olives amidst an atmosphere of suffering, oppression, and deprivation. The events of the three novels unfold: a tormented, displaced childhood, deferred hopes, hastened pains, colonialism, mandates, and unjust rulings that severed the homeland of the soul, Alexandretta, from the heart.
