Hélène Cardona Instagram – So grateful for Readers Favorite’s 5 Star Review of The Abduction (White Pine Press, 2023), winner of a FACE Foundation and @villa.albertine Grant, my translation of Maram Al Masri’s Le Rapt (Bruno Doucey):

If anyone would like a signed copy, DM me!
“The Abduction is an emotional and powerful work. The poems are gut-wrenching and paint a vivid picture of the pain and sorrow of being deprived of the right to be a mother and the guilt of not wanting to experience joy or happiness when you do not know how your child is doing. I applaud how these deep and complex thoughts were perfectly captured. The story is based on real-life experiences and raises awareness of the plight of refugees worldwide. Maram Al-Masri is a creative and engaging writer, and I loved how her raw honesty and vulnerability could be felt on every page. Hélène Cardona flawlessly translated the poems from French to English. Get a copy of this book to grasp the story and emotional journey fully.”
