Born a Refugee: A Novel of One Palestinian Family
The haunting yet beautiful story of a family of four brothers and their widowed mother living in a tiny house in the Kalandia Refugee Camp near Jerusalem as they face the struggle and hope of their daily lives. Gripping, well-written, and engaging, Born a Refugee is a powerful look at Palestinian life.                                                  --Washington Report on Middle East AffairsThis is a deep, rich, poignant and profoundly humanistic book. It is also one of the best "political" books I have ever read.      Hallaj is a very good reader of the mind set of others. Her characters are believable, and her understanding of the issues facing now stateless people walking their own ancestors' lands is sharp and profound. Politicians who really care for the pursuit of peace should read this book, whatever side of the wicked divide birth or conviction puts them on.          --Richard Bunning, AIA Reviewer--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
