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 realizes 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 59 years of exile, her mother is returning to the place she once called home – but can a lifetime of loss ever be healed?
A moving and heartbreaking journey of a daughter discovering her Palestinian roots and recovering her mother’s beloved past. It’s also an intimate and tender account of daily life for Palestinians as never seen before. Perfect for fans of The Bookseller of Kabul and The Beekeeper of Aleppo.

I’m all for the Palestinian refugees in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan to be given the full rights of anyone else in those countries who were born there. It is cruel to keep them refugees for 75 years with severely constrained rights. A terrible and cynical ploy to pretend that because of some imagined right of return they must forever be treated as refugees generation after generation. After all, Israel took in all the Jews who were expelled from Arab lands in ‘48 and ‘67 and made them full citizens. The Arab nations (of which there are many) should do the same to their Arab brethren.

@ssafe05 you have the common sense of a squirrel.
1. Why was it OK for one group to fight for their right to return and basing that right on biblical writings BUT not the other?
2. If most refugees seek to return to their homelands. Why treat some preferentially?
3. Why is it cynical for the Palestinians to imagine that they had a homeland that they hope to return to one day? Would you have felt the same way if your were around before 1948 when there were people living in Palestine?
Why don’t you keep your ignorant, unsolicited advise to yourself!

Thank you for all of your uploads. Many of them seem to be removed, but are showing on your profile (Socialist introduction to Palestine, Palestine laboratory, etc.). Is this because of a DMCA or is ABB taking them down?

@boghag Some were robo-reads and are ‘not allowed’ even for books that have never had an official audiobook ever made. I thought they might benefit those with poor vision but this exception was not deamed acceptable ‘lest the quality of the site be impacted’
Rulez eh? :/
