A review by awaywiththefairies
In My Mother's Footsteps by Mona Hajjar Halaby

challenging emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

"Then I remembered what my Palestinian relatives and friends in the Diaspora - Paris, new York, London- had requested of me on the eve of my trip: 
When you arrive in Palestine, kiss the ground, stroke the olive trees, smell the air. Do it for us."

It was at this sentenc  that I began to weep. Emotional, confronting, full of soul and rage, this book will break down all your walls; poetically and unapologetically.

A heart rendering journey to a homeland that you will never forget.
