Blog Post » Finally, the Exodus I have been longing for
"After a lifetime of searching for one book that might have a shot at grabbing the heartstrings of American audiences in the same way that Uris did has finally yielded results. I have finally found a book as compelling and well written that will move Americans to recognize the injustices against Christians and Muslims in Palestine, the birthplace of Christianity. That book is Mornings in Jenin."Ray Hanania

Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa
This is the first English-language novel to express fully the human dimension of the Palestinian tragedy
"Although the novel is written according to Anglo-American conventions, it echoes the poetic prose that is a feature of contemporary Arabic writing. Abulhawa effectively communicates her bubbling joy in what she calls “the dance” of Arabic, pondering the language’s intricate courtesies and imagistic flair." Robin Yassin-KassabA heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what The Kite Runner did for Afghanistan
