| Summary, etc. | "Mornings in Jenin" by Susan Abulhawa is a poignant and sweeping novel that follows the Abulheja family, particularly focusing on Amal, as they navigate the tumultuous history of Palestine from the 1948 Nakba (the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes) to the present day. The story begins with the family's forced relocation from their ancestral village to the refugee camp of Jenin, where Amal is born. The novel unfolds through the perspectives of various family members, offering a multi-generational saga that captures the personal and collective experiences of Palestinians. As Amal grows up, the novel delves into her relationships, aspirations, and the impact of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict on her life. The narrative vividly portrays the resilience, love, and heartbreak that characterize the lives of the Abulheja family and the Palestinian people. "Mornings in Jenin" is a moving exploration of the human cost of conflict and displacement, providing a deeply emotional and human perspective on the Palestinian struggle for justice and identity. |
