A message from Serbia
Ana Tomic
Rashid, I read your “Fractured Silence” , and I want to tell you how much I appreciate the honesty and heart you put into every line. Your writing carries a sincerity that is rare, you don’t hide behind complicated language or try to impress, and you simply speak your truth. That gives your book a very intimate, human power. Many people who have lived through emotional pain will immediately recognize themselves in your words. What stands out the most is your courage to write openly about heartbreak, healing, and the inner battles we often keep hidden. I love that. If I may give a small suggestion, only because I know how much you care about your craft: I know that English isn’t your first language but I can also feel it, because of the flow, it could flow even better with smoother transitions and a more varied vocabulary. But this is something that naturally evolves with time and experience. I’m just saying that because I am more westernized than you and their culture is more similar to mine. What you have now is already meaningful, real, and heartfelt and sometimes that matters far more than technical perfection, thing of taste, so to say. Thank you for trusting me with your work.
