In The End of Spring, Sahar Khalifeh chronicles the struggle of the
Palestinian people with a humane depiction of Palestinian
resistance fighters during the 2002 siege of Yasir Arafat's
official headquarters. Khalifeh's tender and moving portrayal of
her protagonists delves into the inner consciences of the men and
women and children who were involved in the actual resistance--or
were simply caught in the middle. These characters come alive
through Khalifeh's use of Palestinian colloquial diction, as does
the setting, through her measured attention to the details of the
natural surroundings in which the characters live, fight, and die.
The End of Spring is a riveting novel that captures the reader's
attention from beginning to end. It gives a heart and a face to the
Palestinian struggle.
