About this title

"In the fall of 1994, I left Syria for a new country. On my way, I spent a night in Amman, carrying my sorrows and my hopes in a suitcase. After Twenty-five years in Montreal, I witness, helplessly, my old country being torn by civil war. Today I'm revisiting Amman, also with a suitcase". Samer Najari
