Set in Palestine, before the creation of the state of Israel, this
lyrical and deftly written novel spans three generations living in
the small village of Hadiya. Reaching back into the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries, the immense history of this period
is brought into focus by the very human stories of Hajj Mahmoud,
his son Khaled, and grandson Naji. As the cruel hand of history
hovers above them, their destinies are shaped by outside forces -
first the crumbling Ottoman Empire, then the British Mandate, and
finally the Nakba. Nasrallah's elegant and epic tale is one of both
suffering and survival, heart-break and hope.
