I’ve never been so grateful to have read a book. Beautiful, heart breaking, infuriating, personal, lyrical. Shehadeh somehow managed to fit everything into this book: a history of the land, his memories of the land and his own life, his family history, political histories, and current environmental, political, and personal realities. I’m unable to express what this book means to me. Many passages were so touching, I read them multiple times. 5 stars is an understatement.

Have you ever wondered what Palestine looked like before it was colonized? Read this! Raja paints a beautiful picture of Palestine’s “Biblical landscape.”
He also documents the gradual changes that have happened to the land since their occupation by Israel. Highly recommend the audio! It was fantastic and kept me interested in an otherwise pretty dense book.
The conversation at the end with the Israeli was 😮💨😤❤️
