The Blue Between Sky and Water
Susan AbulhawaWhen Israeli forces gather outside the town's borders, nobody suspects the terror that is about to descend. Soon the village is burning, and, amid smoke & ash, the family must take the long road to Gaza, in a walk that will test them to their limits.
Sixty years later Mamdouh's granddaughter, Nur, is living in America. She falls in love with a married man, a doctor who works in Palestine, and follows him to Gaza. There she meets Alwan, the mother of Khaled - a boy trapped in his own body, unable to wake up from a deep blue dream. It is through her that Nur will at last discover the ties of kinship that transcend distance - and even death.
The Blue Between Sky and Water is a story of powerful, flawed women; of relocation, separation, & heartache; of renewal, family, endurance, & love. Susan Abulhawa brings a raw humanity & delicate authority to the story of Palestine in this devastatingly beautiful tale.
