Mornings in Jenin is a compelling read that not only tells a gripping family story but also offers insights into the complexities and human dimensions of the Palestinian experience. It’s a significant contribution to world literature, providing a voice to stories often unheard in mainstream discourse.

Mornings in Jenin is a multi-generational story about a Palestinian family. Forcibly removed from the olive-farming village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejos are displaced to live in canvas tents in the Jenin refugee camp.

Palestine, 1948. Half a million Palestinians are forced from their homes. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever.

Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin and exiled from the ancient village that is their lifeblood, the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. 

"Mornings in Jenin" by Susan Abulhawa isn't just a story; it's an experience. Prepare to have your heart broken and spirit uplifted as you witness the unwavering strength of the human spirit. Dive in and discover a powerful narrative that will stay with you long after the last page. 9781408809488
