I love dramas, but only when i'm watching them, not reading. Although this seems promising, it's not the type i usually go for. Nice review :)

This sounds like a book that entails a lot of narratives and experiences from the Middle East. Thanks for your review.

When I researched the word anthology, I'm not interested in this book because I don't like poems. I'm not yet interested in poetry drama, but I'm trying to work on it. I thought, the title was about a fictional novel.

This play might not have the intrigue of a crime novel but it does carry alot of emotions. It would be nice to read about the collection. I also like the setting. Nice review!

I haven't read many dramas. I'm interested in these. The "feeling of being out of place" is something that we all had gone through at times. But to live with that for a long time is really tragic. To know that there are people to whom normal life and freedom are just dreams which are unattainable is sad and eye-opening at the same time. It's for this reason that we need to read these stories which are lives ,to be precise.. Thank you for this wonderful review.

An interesting anthology of modern dramas depicting the issues that affect refugees and their generations is nicely presented in the book "Divided World" by Kenneth Pickering. A nice thing is that modern plays investigate our lives beyond what news stories share. I hope to read this book soon.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I read a book written and presented in a form that made it look like a tv drama series. The settings and background were written separately to the spoken phrases. It was very exciting and absorbing to read and I enjoyed it. I suspect that these stories mirror that style, as they are written as plays. Plays formed an important part of entertainment and drama in the world since the ancient Greeks and I would like to see these presented on a stage. I am sure that they would convey a powerful message, even although I am not sure that I would agree with it in full. Many wars and political circumstances resulting in unpleasant social conditions are the result of activists and politicians who cause them in the first place. This results in these conditions being imposed which would not necessarily have been in place, otherwise. But the review certainly paints a powerful image of this book and I look forward to reading it. It is a pity that a point had to be deducted from the rating due to grammar and other errors. I enjoyed the review and am interested in reading this book now.

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
