Description
This may be a novel of anger, cruelty, tension, and fantasy, but it’s a novel that quickly draws you into its fast-paced events.
To plunge you into the heart of a turbulent political and historical situation that continues unabated in the occupied territories, marked by killing, siege, starvation, the erasure of humanity, and the confiscation of land. Amidst all this turmoil, novelist Ahmed Rafiq Awad skillfully weaves his narrative, employing a tense and fast-paced text deeply intertwined with the setting, the setting, and the momentous event. Through characters of flesh and blood, forced to chart their course in a confined and besieged environment, facing an enemy that reveals all its cards and illusions, the novel tells the story of a prominent Palestinian leader who must preserve his family and his father’s legacy on one hand, and his own interests and pragmatism on the other. Between these two extremes, we encounter family members who are also compelled to choose between their values and their own interests. This is a novel of metaphors and allusions, and despite its stark realism, it appears, at times, as a novel that encapsulates the difficult reality and also hints at the future.
