Fragments of memory : a story of a Syrian family / Hanna Mina ; translated from the Arabic by Olive Kenny and Lorne Kenny with an introduction by Khaldoun Shamaa.
Fragments of Memory is an autobiographical novel about the life of a boy born to a poor family in northern Syria. Mina sets these personal events against a richly detailed description of events in the history of early 20th century Syria, as the silkworm industry gave way to modern foreign technology.
