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.

地图上不存在的巴勒斯坦 --- 《大卫的伤疤》读后感 五十年前的中国是历史,可是对于巴勒斯坦地区,今天就是历史,巴以矛盾还在进行。战争是罪恶,历史是个轮回,对那些血淋林的历史,不能简单地说谁是谁非。我们会因为人肉炸弹就批评那些民族,然而我们永远无法明白要受到怎样...
评分把几代人的一生,进行浓缩,是一件多么可怖的事情,一个个鲜活灵魂在苦难中消失,生命最终归于麻木的成熟,所有这些脱水的人生,在失去了占据生活绝大多数的平淡点缀后,显得那么赤裸,像一道不加遮挡的光,刺痛双眼。 作者对战争和痛苦的描写,人物内心的刻画,一次次震撼着我...
