Description
In Elias Khoury's powerful novel, Adam, the first child born in the Ghetto of Lydda in 1948, navigates a life marked by the profound trauma of dislocation and massacre. As he grapples with his identity, Adam becomes a vessel for the collective memory of his people, seeking to understand himself within the vast sweep of history. Khoury masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the enduring impact of original sin and the relentless search for belonging in the face of overwhelming loss.
