Rose's Diary

Product details

The mid-1960s, a time of independence movements and the rise of Arab nationalism, and before the formation of the United Arab Emirates... student Roza was an avid reader and possessed a talent for writing. Denied a scholarship to study Arabic literature in Damascus after school, she returned to her father's house in Al Shindagha, Dubai, and poured her anger into her secret diaries, throwing her notebooks into the creek, as it was considered shameful for a woman to write her creative works at that time.
