Susan Abulhawa ha scritto un romanzo struggente che può fare per la Palestina ciò che il Cacciatore di aquiloni ha fatto per l'Afghanistan.

Attraverso la voce di Amal, la brillante nipotina del patriarca della famiglia Abulheja, viviamo l'abbandono della casa dei suoi antenati di Ain Hod, nel 1948, per il campo profughi di Jenin.

Okay, so she does have an adopted teenage daughter, Savannah, who wants to raise her black witch of a mother from the dead. And who is being stalked by a telekinetic half-demon and an all-powerful cabal of sorcerers.
