Description

Spanning generations and continents, this lyrical novel follows a Palestinian family displaced from their village of Beit Daras and scattered across Gaza, Kuwait, and the United States. At its heart are the resilient women who preserve family, memory, and identity through war, exile, love, and loss, while the spirit of a young boy offers a haunting perspective on the ties binding past and present. Rich with vivid imagery and emotional depth, the story explores displacement, survival, belonging, and the enduring power of ancestral connection.
