''Beautiful. Poignant. Phenomenal...I cried and I smiled...Truly a gem.'' Goodreads reviewer
A moving and heartbreaking journey of a daughter discovering her Palestinian roots and recovering her mother''s beloved past. Perfect for fans of The Bookseller of Kabul and The Beekeeper of Aleppo.
1948, Jerusalem. Zakia is forced to flee the only home she''s ever known as war rips through the leafy streets and the bustling spice-filled souqs. Taking just one suitcase, Zakia thinks she''ll be able to return soon. But within weeks, she realises she won''t be allowed back to her beloved homeland.
2007, California. Mona grew up with her mother Zakia''s memories of Palestine, imagining the muezzin''s call for prayer and the medley of church bells her mother so vividly described to her. So, when Mona gets the opportunity to teach conflict resolution in Ramallah, she also embarks on a personal pilgrimage to find her mother''s home in militarized and occupied Jerusalem.
With cherished letters from her mother who writes to Mona regularly, sharing her story of Jerusalem, Mona dreams of one day being guided by her through the winding cobblestone alleys of the Old City. Yet it is Mona who instead holds her mother''s hand as they finally visit Jerusalem together. After fifty-nine years of exile, her mother is returning to the place she once called home - but can a lifetime of loss ever be healed?
