“Susan Abulhawa possesses the heart of a warrior; she looks into the darkest crevices of lives, conflicts, horrendous injustices, and dares to shine light that can illuminate hidden worlds for us.” —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize–winning author
In this “beautiful...urgent” novel (The New York Times), Nahr, a young Palestinian woman, fights for a better life for her family as she travels as a refugee throughout the Middle East.
As Nahr sits, locked away in solitary confinement, she spends her days reflecting on the dramatic events that landed her in prison in a country she barely knows. Born in Kuwait in the 70s to Palestinian refugees, she dreamed of falling in love with the perfect man, raising children, and possibly opening her own beauty salon. Instead, the man she thinks she loves jilts her after a brief marriage, her family teeters on the brink of poverty, she’s forced to prostitute herself, and the US invasion of Iraq makes her a refugee, as her parents had been. After trekking through another temporary home in Jordan, she lands in Palestine, where she finally makes a home, falls in love, and her destiny unfolds under Israeli occupation. Nahr’s subversive humor and moral ambiguity will resonate with fans of My Sister, The Serial Killer, and her dark, contemporary struggle places her as the perfect sister to Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties.
Written with Susan Abulhawa’s distinctive “richly detailed, beautiful, and resonant” ( Publishers Weekly) prose, this powerful novel presents a searing, darkly funny, and wholly unique portrait of a Palestinian woman who refuses to be a victim.

Wie es auch auf dem Cover steht: Susan Abulhawa zeigt das Herz einer Kriegerin und Heldin in einer Welt, die sie zum Opfer machen möchte. Nahr kämpft wie eine Revolutionärin gegen die Schwierigkeiten und die Härte des Lebens an und findet ihren eigenen Weg der Welt und den Unterdrückern nicht zum Opfer zu fallen. Dieses Buch hat mich daran erinnert, wie sehr Menschen an vielen Orten der Welt leiden und wie stark sie gegen all die Schwierigkeiten des Lebens ankämpfen. Es hat seinen Platz in meinem Herzen gefunden.
