Somewhere, Home by the Lebanese writer, Nada Awar Jarrar, represents the unresolved traumatic effect of war and displacement on the individual memories of Jarrar's female characters. It gives an unconventional translation of the psyches of ordinary women "whose names did not survive in the history books and who could not influence the grand scheme of things" (De Mey 17). These women feel that the course of their lives has been controlled by the outside world rather than by themselves resulting in "the existential condition of post modernity [characterized by] uncertainty, displacement and fragmented identity" (Buruma np.). By that way, Jarrar exemplifies the Lebanese women writers who shy away from the overt description of war violence that the majority of their male peers stick to, and instead, investigate the less overt psychological dimensions of war through three female protagonists, each of whom is given a voice in one of the three sections into which the novel is divided. Beside the previous psychological disturbances, Jarrar tackles the ties to the 'home' land which lie at the heart of the novel's nostalgic memories. In this research, the researcher proves that the protagonists' nostalgic memories do not describe the actual past but the tensions of the present and their attempts to escape it. |
