Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This is a compelling debut that fearlessly challenges stereotypes surrounding Palestinian culture. With humour and poignancy, this book delves into the intimate lives of three primary Palestinian immigrant families in America - the Baladis, the Salamehs, and the Ammars - whose destinies and struggles electrify the community dynamics, occasionally sparking tension and turmoil. Through shifting perspectives, it intricately weaves a rich social tapestry filled with weddings, funerals, shattered hearts, and closely-guarded secrets. This captivating narrative amplifies the voices of a diverse Palestinian community, capturing the struggles of young activists pushing against tradition and the marginalised labouring for survival.
