Abstract

en
Windmills of Our Hearts is unlike any other book. The authors of the stories are women relatives of people who went missing or were forcibly disappeared during the Lebanese war. “This book was written with the ink of their hearts and the tears of their love and longing,” said Wadad Halwani, head of the Committee of the Families of the Kidnapped and Disappeared in Lebanon and one of the authors. Over the past 12 months, ICTJ has organized a series of creative writing workshops for the 15 women led by Lebanese writer Fatima Sharafeddine. “Pain, hope, and years of struggle appear in these stories,” explained Sharafeddine.
