What a powerful, emotional read!
Mornings in Jenin (published in 2010) is a story about a Palestinian family that centers on Amal, whose life begins in a refugee camp in Jenin.
Abulhawa skillfully writes beautiful fictional sagas while also detailing devastating political events and war crimes that are very real. I fully recommend this book to readers who seek to connect, to learn, to be moved… But just know that she does not take it easy on your heart. ❤️🩹
