| Abstract
|
:
|
Vibrating with life and woven with evocative Arabic fables, these stories are about the differences between Lebanese and Australian culture: between parents and children, new lives and old. With warmth, humour and insight, Sallis' prose captures the pain as well as the joys of living in a new land.
