The Abulheja family is expelled from their village in 1948 and ends up in the Jenin refugee camp. Four generations across sixty years — displacement, occupation, Oslo, the second intifada. Abulhawa wrote this because she needed a novel that showed Palestinian life in full — not only suffering but also joy, humor, love, ordinary daily existence. The dispatch that refuses to reduce a people to their wounds while refusing to look away from who inflicted them.
