In its introduction, it referred to its heroine: "Umm Saad has taught me so much, and I almost say that every letter in the following lines is snapped up from her lips, which are still Palestinian, despite everything, and from her shoulders, which - despite everything - are waiting for the weapon for 20 years.

Critical Opinions

In an interview on Al Jazeera, the director of the Al-Rawah Foundation for Studies and Research, Fiha Abdel-Hadi, expressed her vision of Umm Saad's character as an epic, a model of socialist realism. Umm Saad's novel embodied the struggle of Palestinian women and Kanafani's work to embody the hard-powdered Palestinian class in Umm Saad. Umm Sa 'ad represents the Palestinian mother who gives birth to her children to redemption for the homeland and freedom of the people who have suffered from the brutality of the occupation, and also forms the revolutionary women who breathe hope and resilience.

Storyteller and the Lebanese novelist Elias Khoury said: "The idea of a feminist in Ghassan Kanafani's literature has reached its conclusion in Umm Saad's novel. Al-Fidaei became the new Palestinian, Kanafani was searching for a new Palestinian As Palestinian novelist and writer Salim al-Bike pointed out, Umm Saad's novel represents a situation that is completely contrary to what we read in Men in the Sun. In men in the sun, there is a desperate situation. In Umm Saad's novel, there are soldiers. And the idea that there is a woman who gives birth and Palestine takes, As Beck sees it, the novel expresses the state of restoration of the psychological and political balance of Palestinians who needed a long time to get out of the trauma they experienced after the 1948 Nakba, where the emergence of factions and the beginning of the armed struggle constitute a restoration of the state of balance and a coup on the tents of asylum, which in literary photography turned them into commandos, Kanafani asserts in the novel that "a tent about a tent disperses."
