Sobre aquest llibre
Moving from Palestine to London to the Gulf, this unique novel brilliantly depicts modern-day family life in Gaza.
Gaza is being bombed. Rashid-a young, clever Palestinian-has been smoking grass on the roof watching it happen when he gets the email he has been desperate for: he's won a scholarship to London. Rashid's sister, Iman, frustrated by the atrocities and inaction around her, is beginning to take an interest in an Islamic resistance group. Sabri, their intellectual older brother, is working on a history of Palestine from his wheelchair while their mother pickles vegetables and feuds with the neighbors.
Out of It follows the lives of Rashid and Iman as they try to forge places for themselves in the midst of occupation, the growing divide between Palestinian factions, and the rise of fundamentalism. Written with extraordinary humanity and humor, and moving between Gaza, London, and the Gulf, this book redefines Palestine and its people.
