Me thinks

I loved the title of the book – pretty innovative, quirky and of course enticing a reader as it piques your interest. Though I feel the cover design could have been a bit more elaborative and detailed in terms of grabbing the reader’s attention.

For a debutant the author has done an exceptional job here. I simply loved the detailing done by the author, the emotions, the narrative, the flow – all deserve thumbs up for a first timer’s attempt.
The author has written the story exceptionally well dealing with human emotions beautifully. Yes the story line is touching and a little bit melodramatic but it never feels suffocating with the same old stuff. You are actually curious to read and know what’s in store ahead.

I would say please don’t go by the cover page or the fact that it is a debut novel. It is a wonderful read and surely a must read just for the beauty it has in terms of story and strong narrative.

Book Review: Palestine Wail - Poems by Yahia Lababidi

In Palestine Wail: Poems , Yahia Lababidi creates a profound and unflinching exploration of the ongoing Palestinian crisis, drawing from his own heritage and heartbreak to reflect on a political and humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded across decades. This collection, imbued with personal history, political outrage, and spiritual contemplation, serves as both a witness to injustice and a call to humanity. The work’s origins lie deeply in Lababidi’s own roots—his Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani, was forced to flee Jerusalem at gunpoint, a traumatic event that reverberates throughout Lababidi’s poetry.  As an Arab-American writer, Lababidi is uniquely positioned to speak on the intersection of identity, politics, and human rights. His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering. Through his words, Lababidi eloquently counters the equation that Zioni
