Whispers of Oman

By Maria Dekeersmaeker

While writing my books "the DNA of Salalah-Dhofar" and "Treasure Chest Salalah-Dhofar" about the Sultanate of Oman, a lot of other stories came to me. Mainly stories from women... Perhaps because of the simple fact that I am a woman too. Their thoughts, achievements and dreams became the backbone for "Whispers of Oman". In the chapter "Reading as a way out", for example, Amna explains how she dealt with injustice done to her in her youth. The stories of Naifa and Dr. Aida give an insight in the way how the modernization of the country took place in 1970. Raya, who is diagnosed with cancer explains the role of her believe in coping with her disease. There is the statement of Sara, a student who explains why playing theatre is so important for her personal development. With 38 portraits and photos, "Whispers of Oman" in the Arabian Peninsula is an inspirational book, mainly about women who took the opportunities their country offered to develop their skills and peruse the things they were good at. "Whispers of Oman" is a tribute to these women their achievements.
