A truly sensitive story about displacement from Palestine and re-settlement in England as an immigrant.
The book opens with a chilling recollection of events leading to her family's expulsion from Palestine in 1948. The scene shifts to England, where her family resettles and struggles between an Arab and English identity.
Some of the most absorbing moments in the book include the racism that Ghada faces during the 1956 and 1967 wars and the subsequent breakdown of her marriage on learning that her British husband was not on the "other" side.
