What a great find - a series of short plays about refugees. We all want to live in safety and freedom where we are acknowledged for our contributions. These themes sound wonderful. Thank you for the review.

The psychological effects of moving to another country are numerous, and it's intriguing to see these playwrights have come together to address this! This review had me very intrigued. Thank you.
Happy reading! :techie-studyingbrown:

I believe refugees are no lesser human beings and must be accorded their rights, wherever they are. They encounter a couple of problems which should be addressed by the authority, out of goodwill. Great review

This is a book of plays by Middle Eastern playwrights. The topics of alienation and immigration are prevalent themes. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

Wow, nice review. I tried convincing myself that I might actually enjoy this book because the review of it was very insightful, but I couldn't. Thanks anyway.

This is an amazing short anthology of modern dramas addressing issues refugees face and those of generations after them. The book has a free sample on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review that highlighted the book perfectly. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

:( This is obviously a straight forward, business-toned review. I'm pondering why sex can not be separated from humans. Why must there be a sexual encounter?
