Hoda Barakat

    Hoda Barakat is een bejubelde Libanese romanschrijfster, wiens werken worden gekenmerkt door een diepgaande verkenning van de menselijke psyche en maatschappelijke omstandigheden. Ze duikt vaak in thema's als identiteit, ontworteling en de zoektocht naar betekenis in turbulente tijden. Haar proza valt op door zijn poëtische en toch indringende kwaliteit, waardoor lezers intiem toegang krijgen tot de complexe innerlijke levens van haar personages. Barakat's onderscheidende stem verrijkt de hedendaagse Arabische literatuur aanzienlijk.

      In an unnamed country torn apart by war, six strangers are compelled to share their darkest secrets. Taking pen to paper, each character attempts to put in writing what they can't bring themselves to say to the person they love – mother, father, brother, lost love. Their words form a chain of dark confessions, none of which reaches the intended recipient. Profound, troubling and deeply human, Voices of the Lost tells the moving story of characters living on the periphery, battling with displacement, devastating poverty and the demons within themselves. From one of today's most talented Arabic writers, Voices of the Lost is an urgent story of lives intimately woven together in a society that is tearing itself apart.
