Description
In this thought-provoking novel, the spontaneous disappearance of all Palestinian Arabs from Israel triggers a profound examination of identity, memory, and belonging. The narrative unfolds in the immediate aftermath, primarily through the eyes of an Israeli journalist who discovers the diary of his vanished Palestinian neighbor. As he delves into the diary, he uncovers a rich tapestry of personal history, family displacement, and a deep, enduring connection to the city of Jaffa. This powerful story uses a unique premise to explore the complexities of loss, the pain of separation, and the indelible mark of history on individual lives.
