Description
A sweeping multigenerational novel follows a Palestinian family whose lives unfold across New Orleans, Beirut, Kuwait, and Paris, shaped by exile, inheritance, and the search for belonging. When the family gathers amid personal and political upheaval, long-buried tensions surface alongside questions of loyalty, identity, and home. Blending intimate family drama with a vivid portrait of diasporic life, the novel explores how displacement reverberates across generations. Lyrical, emotionally layered, and richly atmospheric, it is a powerful meditation on memory, love, and the fragile ties that hold a family together.
