Minn Fuq L-Ghatba Short stories with the childhoold days of the author as a background. Here reality and immagination are mixed to create 97 pages of enjoyable reading. "'Minn fuq l-Ghatba' reads like a captivating study of recent Maltese history. Through character descriptions and brief amusing anecdotes we get to know about the life in post-war Malta. Maltese trades and traditions, religious rituals, entertainment, politics, the division of social classes and the influence of the English in Malta - all are part of this amusing , delightful book." Joan Mallia: Life in post-war Malta: Minn fuq l-Ghatba: The Sunday Times, March 10, 2002. Extracts from a letter the author received from an old friend who lives in Canada. "I am congratulating myself because this is the first book in Maltese that I have read from cover to cover and the first book that I have read willingly. In particular the story of 'Il-Mara ta' l-Ghonnella' was a winner. such a poignant story!.. Each story had its particular charm and awakened memories, playing in the streets, characters, gossip...it certainly brings back a way of life that sadly I suppose is no more."
