Young love, meddling relatives, heart-to-hearts with friends real
and imagined - Philistia's world is that of an ordinary university
student, except that in occupied Palestine, and when your father is
in indefinite detention, nothing is straightforward. Philistia is
closest to her childhood, and to her late grandmother and her
imprisoned father, when she's at her part-time job washing women's
bodies at the ancient Ottoman hammam in Nablus, the West Bank. A
midwife and corpse washer in her time, Grandma Zahia taught
Philistia the ritual ablutions and the secrets of the body: the
secrets of life and death. On the brink of adulthood, Philistia
embarks on a journey through her country's history - a magical
journey, and one of loss and centuries of occupation. As trees are
uprooted around her, Philistia searches for a place of refuge, a
place where she can plant a memory for the ones she's lost.
