ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa tells the story of the Abulheja family across four generations amidst the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Displaced from their ancestral village, Ein Hod, in 1948, they find themselves in a refugee camp in Jenin. The narrative explores themes of loss, identity, and resilience as the family endures upheaval and violence. One of the main characters is Amal, whose journey takes her from Jenin to America, grappling with her Palestinian heritage while seeking belonging. The novel delves into the complexities of identity, displacement, and the enduring connection to the homeland. It explores the human cost of political conflict, the cycle of violence, and the importance of memory in preserving cultural heritage.
