Suad Amiry traces the lives of individual members
of Palestinian families and, through them, the histories of Palestine and the émigré Palestinian community in other Middle Eastern countries.
Amiry mixes nostalgia with anger while mocking Israeli
doublespeak that seeks to wipe out any trace of a
Palestinian past in West Jerusalem. She juxtaposes
serial bombardments and personal tragedies, evokes the sights and smells of Palestinian architecture and food, and weaves for us the tapestry that is the Palestinian reality, caught between official histories and private memories.
Through poetry and prose, monologue and dialogue, we glimpse the lost Palestinian landscape, obscured by the silent battle between remembering and forgetting.
