Produktbeschreibung
The Barrier Grief follows the story of two friends in the war-torn Beirut, where in spite of the material destructions and the loss of human lives, the old city has stubbornly resisted violence. Donna, a resilient, independent businesswoman, immerses herself in her husband's trades to provide for her children, only to realize years later that she has forgotten to live for herself. Amidst accepting her children's choices in a life marred by constant bombing, finding crucial parts about herself strangled in a desert barn and discovering herself alone in a cold bed, would Donna recognize her true destiny? Anna, bereft and estranged from the outside world, has struggled to find her path again. Her son blames her for distancing him from his dying father. Beirut is increasingly dangerous and while everyone advises her to move on, she fears replacing her late husband. Would a new love emerge to heal her wounds or would it knock Anna to the ground again? The Barrier Grief is a fresh perspective on motherhood, widowhood and individuality in a world ruled by men.
Autorenporträt
The author, Mihaela Arbid Stoica, was born in Bucharest on 12 September 1952. She studied Law at the University of Bucharest, got married at the age of 25 and travelled to Lebanon. She was a teacher of French History in a big Catholic school for girls. She started to write at the age of 47 after her soul got full of memories, most of them bad and some nice. It was hard to understand oriental tradition, to accept rules when you have a level of education, especially in full civil war. Her first novel was Prisoner in Liberty. This was a big success in Bucharest and made a name for the author for the first time in her life. She believes that you can't write if you don't have experiences in life, you can't talk about pain if you haven't had a taste of it.
