Highlights Sold in nineteen countries A best-selling literary masterpiece from a Palestinian-American writer Will appeal to fans of The Kite Runner and those interested in and affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 1948: The lives of the Abulheja family are changed forever when they are forcibly removed from their ancestral home in Ein Hod and sent to live in a refugee camp in Jenin. Through Amal, the bright granddaughter of the patriarch, we witness the stories of her brothers: one, a stolen boy who becomes an Israeli soldier; and the other, who as a result of sacrificing everything for the Palestinian cause, becomes his brother’s unwitting enemy. Amal’s own dramatic story weaves its way between these strands, covering six decades of Palestinian-Israeli tension, and eventually taking her into exile in the US. This is a moving and powerful novel that will have an enormous impact on all those who read it. Susan Abulhawa Susan Abulhawa was born to refugees of the Six-Day War of 1967. She moved to the US as a teenager, graduated in biomedical science and established a career in medical science. In July 2001, she founded Playgrounds for Palestine.
