A moving story about Palestine's 1948 Exodus by the Arab world's
finest living novelist. First in a trilogy.
Long exiled in New York, Palestinian ex-pat Adam Dannoun thought he knew
himself. But an encounter with Blind Mahmoud, a father figure from his
childhood, changes everything. As he investigates exactly what occurred
in 1948 in Lydda, the city of his birth, he gathers stories that speak
to his people's bravery, ingenuity, and resolve in the face of
unimaginable hardship.
