Description
A Palestinian childhood. A voice rises, summoning music, poetry, war and resistance. Yuryur will soon be ten years old. Born in a land of wonders, rocked by the waves of the Arabian-Persian Gulf, she lives a happy childhood in Dubai where the salt of the sea and the sage of the tea of Téta Hilweh, her grandmother, mingle, with whom she spends the summers in the refugee camp in a Beirut that the war will disfigure. A tale of love, a rite of passage, a story of reunions and farewells, broken and renewed bonds in the very heart of the cracks, The Shadow of the Olive Tree paints the portrait of a Palestine that fascinates. Yara El-Ghadban studied and lived in Montreal. She lives in London. The Shadow of the Olive Tree is her first novel.
