Palestine, 1948. 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 is a devastating novel of love and loss, war and
oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four
generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime.
