Description

Palestine. The word brings to mind a series of confused images and disjointed associations-massacres, refugee camps, UN resolutions, settlements, war, checkered kouffiyehs and suicide bombers, a seemingly endless cycle of death and destruction. This novel does not shy away from such painful images, but it is first and foremost a powerful human story, following the life of a young girl from the Palestinian village of al-Tantoura up to the dawn of the new century. We live her love of her land and of her people; we feel the repeated pain of loss, of diaspora and of cross-generational misunderstanding.
