Let us understand and review it in this article:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">About the author\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Najwa Zebian is a Canadian author, educator and speaker. She was very passionate about language from a very young age, and she had a very keen interest in novels and Arabic poetry since her childhood. She wrote the book welcome home, in which Najwa describes a place where the soul of the human body and heart feels at peace. When the author shifted to Canada city, It was pretty tricky for her to adjust to an unfamiliar place. Later she completed her education and became a teacher and a doctoral candidate in educational leadership. The first batch of her students was a group of young refugees which led her back to her childhood or original passion for writing. Najwa was very passionate about writing heartbreaking poems, which helped her heal millions of people worldwide. She always uses her words to encourage thousands of people to build a home within themselves and live, love and be fearless.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Style of the book<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The poems are written in freestyle. Most of the poems do not follow the same rhyming scheme. But the ideas are well mixed within every line. Even though the book is supposed to be a collection of sad, heartbreaking poetry and prose, it is tough to differentiate between the two. Najwa has written a pretty similar pattern for all her poems and prose, making it difficult for the readers to distinguish one from another.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The language used in the book<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The language used in the book \u2018Nectar of Pain\u2019 is relatively easy to understand. There are no challenging metaphors and rhetorical devices. Therefore, everyone can read, understand and feel the pain in the words of all the poems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Words of strength<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Najwa talks about the people with good hearts always accept apologies even if they don\u2019t apologise. The people with good hearts always see the best in you when you don\u2019t need them. The word busy does not even exist in their dictionary. She says that good-hearted people always accept the love they think they have earned, and one should fear the day when a good heart gives up on you. The heart does not turn cold unless it\u2019s been treated with coldness for a while. She states that one should not lose hope in loving and living fearlessly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">She thanks readers for healing themselves and holding her hand to recover from pain together on the last page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nectar of Pain is a book of emotions with a collection of poetry and prose that deals with heartbreaks, revival, self-esteem and strength of character.
