Overview
The Abadi Family saga begins when a modern-day Romeo and Juliette story betweenĀ a PalestinianĀ andĀ a JewĀ ends in predictable tragedy. The family flees to America to mend, but encounters only more turmoil that threatens to tear the family apart.
In the wake of the 1967 Six Day War, Tamar Abadiās world collapses when her sister-in-law is killed in what appears to be a terror attack but what is really the result of a secret relationship with a Palestinian poet. Tamarās husband, Salim, is an Arab and a Jew. Torn between the two identities, and mourning his sisterās death, he uproots the family and moves them to the US. As Tamar struggles to maintain the integrity of the familyās Jewish Israeli identity against the backdrop of the American āmelting potā culture, a Palestinian family moves into the apartment upstairs and she is forced to reckon with her narrow thinking as her daughter falls in love with the Palestinian son. Fearing history will repeat itself, Tamar's determination to separate the two sets into motion a series of events that have the power to destroy her relationship with her daughter, her marriage, and the family she has worked so hard to protect. This powerful debut novel explores Tamarās struggle to keep her family intact, to accept love that is taboo, andĀ grapples with how exile forces us to reshape our identity in ways we could not imagine.
