From the author of the international bestseller Mornings in Jenin
comes a powerful, passionate story of a family separated by
conflict, and the tragedy they endure 'The story Susan Abulhawa
tells in this marvellous novel is hard to bear but impossible to
ignore ... precise, courageous, and dazzling' Teju Cole 'Gripping
and deeply moving ... Suffering and resilience are difficult things
to witness, but this powerful, politically engaged novel does so
with a transformative literary grace.' Independent on Sunday It is
1947, and Beit Daras, a rural Palestinian village, is home to the
Baraka family - oldest daughter Nazmiyeh, brother Mamdouh,
beautiful, dreamy Mariam and their widowed mother. When Israeli
forces descend, sending the village up in flames, the family must
take the long road to Gaza, in a walk that will test them to their
limits. Sixty years later, in America, Mamdouh's granddaughter Nur
falls in love with a doctor. Following him to his work in Gaza, she
meets Alwan, who will help Nur discover the ties of kinship that
transcend distance - and even death. Told with raw humanity, The
Blue Between Sky and Water is a lyrical, devastatingly beautiful
story of a family's relocation, separation, survival and love.
