This lyrical novel, set in the surroundings of the Palestinian
village of Zakariyya, weaves a narrative rich in sensory detail yet
troubled by the porousness of memory. It tells the story of the
relationship between two figures of deep mythical resonance in the
region, Yahya and Zakariyya, figures who live in the present but
bear the names--and many traits--of two saints. Ranging from today
into back to pre-1948 Palestine, the book presents both a
compelling portrait of a contemporary village and a sacred
geography that lies beyond and beneath the present state of the
world. Sensual, rich in allusion, yet at the same time focused on
the struggles of today, Where the Bird Disappeared is a powerful
novel of both connection and dispossession.
