A Beirut Heart: One Woman’s War
Cathy Sultan
Scarletta Press, 2005, paperback, 253 pp.
This disturbing yet beautiful memoir, written by a courageous housewife, places us inside an experience we seldom contem­plate—domestic survival during civil war. A Beirut Heart imposes upon the reader a haunting metaphor about how the tragic destruction of a great city can be paralleled in the psyche of even the most resilient of its inhabitants. Even as Sultan’s emotions suffer with the city, her romantic notions of "foreign lands" become a more realistic love of another life.
