Ishmael's oranges

Hajaj, Claire (author.).

Summary: It's April 1948 and war hangs over Jaffa. One minute seven-year-old Salim is dreaming of taking his first harvest from the family orange tree with his father; the next he is swept away by "the great catastrophe" into a life of exile. Spanning three generations, it follows the journeys of those cast adrift by war - as well as by their own impulses - until at last they find themselves thrown headlong into it. Through Salim, Jude, and their twins, we explore the longest conflict of our era in universally human terms: the families we build, the loyalties we owe, and the stories we pass on to our children.
