Review

A brilliant novel of the Palestinian diaspora. Funny and gritty, and bursting with life and humour. -- Ahdaf Soueif - Guardian

Huzama Habayeb describes many worlds within one world. She weaves the East and the West within the Middle East, and explores the feeling of living in exile even when at home. She cares for the lives of children and women, always filled with difficulties and great hopes, in a compassionate and magical language. While searching for a solution in despair, she holds up a new mirror to the world, a mirror that everyone is invited to look at and question themselves -- Burhan Sönmez

Book Description

A daring and captivating novel about a Palestinian family, told with love, wisdom and black humour
