WOW. I first heard of Susan Abulhawa´s voice on a Youtube video of her at the Boston Book Fair ��" and I knew I had to read her book: Mornings in Jenin. This novel is amazing in delivery and the topic is so timely. Yet, this is a novel, a page turner. The story begins before 1948 and ends in 2002, covering 6 decades and 4 generations of a single family ��" and their trials and tribulations. An wonderfully written book on a sensitive topic in a novel format.
