Reviews

Talib Al-Rafai expressed in his article how Laila Abdullah tends to show knowledge upon a novel's dimension, and recognizing the elements of a fiction scene, delivering portrayals of Arab and Western Citizens through the landscape she expresses in the novel.[8]

Additionally, a review in Independent Arabia discusses how in Farho's Notebooks, Abdullah's narrative transfers through different forms of storytelling, one that is inclined towards the beginning, becoming heavy throughout the details upon the conflict of the novel, transferring to an ordinary form eventually to describe the course of a normal life.
