Riassunto

Hedy Habra's moving, lovely stories emerge from her history as a Middle Eastern exposed to the varied cultures of Egypt, Lebanon, Belgium, Greece, and the United States, fluent in French, Arabic, Spanish, and English. She draws together in this volume vivid images, events, and voices in a compelling, particolored vision that evokes time and place like the haunting recollections from a dream.—Arnold Johnston, author of The Witching Voice: A Novel from the Life of Robert Burns, What the Earth Taught Us (poems), Duets: Love Is Strange (plays, with Deborah Ann Percy)

Hedy Habra's Flying Carpets is a collection of enchantments and wonders charmingly recounted, deeply imagined, and composed with lyrical exactitude.
