Delphine Minoui

Opis

The compelling story of how a group of young Syrian rebels found hope in the midst of war - hope that came from books

Recenzje

There is something seductive about the idea of knowledge as a bulwark against brutal force, and it's an idea that immediately resonates with Minoui . . . She makes up for the lack of on-the-ground access with an abundance of attention and empathy. Mythili Rao Guardian
