Set against over thirty years of military occupation, this memoir explores a poignant father-son relationship. Raja Shehadeh recounts his childhood in Ramallah after his family was displaced from Jaffa in 1948, highlighting themes of loss and longing. His father, Aziz, a pioneer of the peaceful two-state solution, faced arrests and ultimately alienation from both Palestinians and Israelis. Aziz's tragic murder in 1985 underscores the personal and political struggles within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, challenging stereotypes and offering profound insights into resilience and hope.
