"A Sigh from My Country"

• The book "A Sigh from My Country" by Mrs. Emily Fares Ibrahim has appeared. The book is a life story of the late woman of letters Salma Sayegh. Mrs. Emily moves through Salma Sayegh's life stage by stage, laying the stress on the writer's overflowing womanliness and on her extraordinary moral and literary gifts — matched against an ill fortune which her life went on wrestling, and which wrestled her, until at last it prevailed over her and won.

The author presses on in telling the story of the writer Salma Sayegh with the ardor of a devoted woman — and who is more capable than a woman of venturing into these delicate, thorny paths?? Mrs. Emily Fares Ibrahim has succeeded, in a sound and flowing language, in doing her friend the finest act of devotion. If the book has one fault, it is the haste in which it appeared, which has marred it with some errors.
