الأستاذ صالح الهزاع شاعر جميل. قرأت شعرا جزلاً معبراً يلمس القلب, بسيط/قوي في المعاني والكلمات. قصر الكثير من المقطوعات أزعجني بعض الشيء رغم تمام المعنى. أعجبني الإخراج الفني للكتاب كثيرًا.

The calligraphy in this book is so cool, I eventually bought a second copy and cut the pages out to laminate and put on the fridge. Great gift.

Favorite Quotes: "The memories come at unguarded moments, when he cannot sleep. In the past, at the height of it, he had attended to people whose limbs had been severed. Working with a Scottish pain expert years later, he treated some of those same patients again. They complained of feeling pain in the lost limbs, the aching ghost of a hewn hand or foot. It was a trick of the mind, the Scotsman explained to Kai: the nerves continued to transmit signals between the brain and the ghost limb. The pain is real, yes, but it is a memory of pain. And when he wakes from dreaming of her, is it not the same for him? The hollowness in his chest, the tense yearning, the loneliness he races against every morning until he can immerse himself in work and forget. Not love. Something else, something with a power that endures. Not love, but a memory of love." p 184-5 "Imagine then, how it feels to find yourself in a love triangle with a ghost. Your rival, complacent in death, can never misstep or disappoint, Julius had left Saffia, yet in dying he had at the same time atoned for all his sins, for his colossal selfishness and grandiose stupidity. And if I sound like I am contradicting myself, I am not. I merely describe the contortions of which the human heart is so eminently capable." p 290

Took this away on my recent visit to Brisbane, determined to read a story a day when I finally ended up in the sanctuary of my bedroom after a day of bookshops, art galleries, restaurants and coffee/teahouses and endless walking in a wonderful city.. ALL enjoyable!!! As were Edith's stories...perfect endings to perfect days!!!! I'm just over halfway through this 450 page tome and relishing it. MORE LATER... Certainly worth the read. A few ghost stories which I relish, but these had a particularly other level, a symbolic level which made them a bit more than a Ghost story. Interesting. Much reminiscent of her friend Henry James' writing. eg the artist and his art. Here it was very much the artist and HER art.Several stories on this theme and all having some different angle. As with James she is concerned about the position of women, especially divorced women.These were meaty stories. NOW...where to find more!!!
