A moving story about Palestine's 1948 Exodus by the Arab world's finest living novelist. First in a trilogy.

As he investigates exactly what occurred in 1948 in Lydda, the city of his birth, he gathers stories that speak to his people's bravery, ingenuity, and resolve in the face of unimaginable hardship.
