Interspersed with evocative Arab fables, these vibrant stories explore the differences between Middle Eastern and Western culture, between immigrant parents and their native-born children, and between new lives and old memories. Through interwoven narrative and allegories, a timely picture of Middle Eastern immigrants and refugees emerges. Poignant vignettes about those still living in war-torn Palestine and Iraq create a contrasting perspective. In a time of suspicion and fear, this exquisite volume paints a humanizing picture of Arabic culture and a sympathetic portrait of Middle Easterners struggling to find their place.
