<p class="MsoNormal"> Neda Ulaby, NPR’s art correspondent wrote about “The scent of Jasmine”, the following;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> “A vibrant collection of vignettes evokes the author's childhood in Damascus, Syria, and Jerusalem and her coming-of-age in Amman, Jordan, and Cairo in the 1950s and '60s. Each chapter is linked by the era's heady political atmosphere,
which Ameri's family fully participated in, and the aroma of jasmine, which grew in abundance in the courtyard of her grandfather's elegant Damascus home.<o:p></o:p></p>
