Summary

HISTORICAL FICTION. Set in Palestine, before the creation of the state of Israel, this lyrical and deftly written novel spans three generations living in the small village of Hadiya. Reaching back into the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the immense history of this period is brought into focus by the very human stories of Hajj Mahmoud, his son Khaled, and grandson Naji.

Nasrallah's elegant and epic tale is one of both suffering and survival, heart-break and hope.
