Before We Say Goodbye by Gabriella Ambrosio
Includes chapter that cover an hour in the day leading up to the suicide bombing.
Juxtaposes cultural tradition and extremism with explosiveconsequences … with an electrifying sense of pace and short, spare narrative that progresses the story at a real lick, this is a book that is guaranteed to make an impression as well as holding real appeal for less confident readers-- Jake Hope * The Bookseller *
This is an imaginatively constructed work. Ambrosio’s strength is the atmosphere she creates and maintains. * The Herald (Glasgow) *
Ambrosio’s novella eloquently evokes the human consequences of this long-running conflict. * The Herald *
Before we say goodbye puts real-life breath into endless news stories, and bomb sites, and religious speculation,and horror, death and namelessness. It is a story about teenagers as people. * Church Times *
