In her best publication yet and in a genre that is scarce, the author takes us through a first person view of the lives of Kuwaiti citizens during the Gulf War. Ashes of Al Rawdah combines the different aspects of the war on an individual, a close-knit family, and a community. Beautifully described characters, intimate events, and a unique viewpoint, the author takes the readers on a roller coaster of emotions as you experience firsthand the life of a people caught in a war they did not expect or ask for. Al Othaimeen takes you from the pits of despair of that tragic morning to moments of laughter and beauty at a time where a ray of light through the clouds would be considered a Godsend.view less
