A heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what "The Kite Runner "did for Afghanistan. Forcibly removed from the ancient village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejas are moved into the Jenin refugee camp. There, exiled from his beloved olive groves, the family patriarch languishes of a broken heart, his eldest son fathers a family and falls victim to an Israeli bullet, and his grandchildren struggle against tragedy toward freedom, peace, and home. This is the Palestinian story, told as never before, through four generations of a single family. The very precariousness of existence in the camps quickens life itself. Amal, the patriarch's bright granddaughter, feels this with certainty when she discovers the joys of young friendship and first love and especially when she loses her adored father, who read to her daily as a young girl in the quiet of the early dawn. Through Amal we get the stories of her twin brothers, one who is kidnapped by an Israeli soldier and raised Jewish; the other who sacrifices everything for the Palestinian cause. Amal's own dramatic story threads between the major Palestinian-Israeli clashes of three decades; it is one of love and loss, of childhood, marriage, and parenthood, and finally of the need to share her history with her daughter, to preserve the greatest love she has. Previously published in a hardcover edition with a limited run under the title "The Scar of David," this powerful novel is now available in a fully revised, newly titled paperback edition. The deep and moving humanity of "Mornings in Jenin "forces us to take a fresh look at one of the defining political conflicts of our lifetimes.

自从看了《大卫的伤疤》,总想写点什么,下笔了,又怕情意不够糟蹋了墨水,于是拖了拖了也有几个星期。 看伊斯兰世界的小说,似乎总是与战争与宗教与爱有关,深重绵亘,不厚的仅是几百页的小说里,是一层层递增的伤痛,身体、心灵、以致整个群体。一个巴勒斯坦灾难的历史就呈现...
评分读完这本书的时候,正值巴以冲突又一次爆发,就像书中写到: “3月20日,一个袭击者在加利利炸死了七名以色列人,这是对于以色列人在3月12日杀死三十一名巴勒斯坦人的报复,而以色列人3月12日的行动是对3月11日杀死十一名以色列人的报复,3月11日的行动是对以色列人3月8日杀死...
评分很久没有读过这么流畅的小说了,我很喜欢这部。令我想到之前的《出埃及记》,整个架构、人物的关系和叙述的方式都相似,虽然它们代表的是战争的两方……还让我想到《流浪的星星》,文字表达的方式也有些许相似,但还是《星星》的文字更感人,更细腻些,但本作的文字也确实令人...
