This debut novel tells the story of a Palestinian family being displaced and separated during the Six-Day War of 1967 between Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria — and later again during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Scattered across the globe, the family struggles with war, assimilation, and new beginnings.

“What is a life? A series of yeses and noes, photographs you shove in a drawer somewhere, loves you think will save you but that cannot. Continuing to move, enduring, not stopping even when there is pain. That’s all life is, he wants to tell her. It’s continuing.”
― Hala Alyan, Salt Houses
