Paperback. Before the night the sky forgot how to be gentle, there was a boy, a fig tree, and a whole world worth losing.In the olive-terraced hills of Wadi al-Zaytun, seven-year-old Yusuf measures his days by the ripening of figs, the green oil running from his father's press, and the sound of his little sister Layla laughing as she chases the chickens into the dusk. Home is not a word here. It is the taste of warm bread, the pattern of his grandmother's needle in red and black thread, and the iron key his mother wears around her neck like a promise.Then, in a single night, the world is unmade.A Child of Palestine follows Yusuf from the last innocent summer of childhood through fire, flight, and the long years of a refugee camp, into the slow and stubborn work of keeping a soul intact when everything that can be taken has been taken. It is the story of a house reduced to rubble that still remembers the shape of its rooms; of a family scattered like seeds on wind; of a single unbroken teacup carried out of the ashes. And it is the story of what the fire could not reach - a grandmother's stories, a teacher who carried a blackboard out of the flames, a librarian who built shelves from ration crates, and a boy who discovered that words are a house no army can bomb.Written with the precision of a literary craftsman and the humility of a witness, this is not a story of victimhood, and not one of easy uplift. It is a meditation on sumud - the steadfastness that grows roots in scorched earth - and on the difference between being unbreakable (never wounded) and unbroken (wounded, and still whole in spirit). Told in chapters that accumulate like stones in a wall and then open like windows, it belongs on the shelf beside Mornings in Jenin, A Long Way Gone, and Man's Search for Meaning.You will walk beside one particular boy through the breaking and the rebuilding. And somewhere in these pages, a fig will be split open in an old woman's hands and offered to you - across every border, into the one country no power can occupy: the space behind your own ribs, where the stars do not go out.A luminous, unforgettable debut about memory, home, and the quiet, unbreakable decision to remain fully human. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Before the night the sky forgot how to be gentle, there was a boy, a fig tree, and a whole world worth losing.
In the olive-terraced hills of Wadi al-Zaytun, seven-year-old Yusuf measures his days by the ripening of figs, the green oil running from his father's press, and the sound of his little sister Layla laughing as she chases the chickens into the dusk. Home is not a word here. It is the taste of warm bread, the pattern of his grandmother's needle in red and black thread, and the iron key his mother wears around her neck like a promise.
Then, in a single night, the world is unmade.
A Child of Palestine follows Yusuf from the last innocent summer of childhood through fire, flight, and the long years of a refugee camp, into the slow and stubborn work of keeping a soul intact when everything that can be taken has been taken. It is the story of a house reduced to rubble that still remembers the shape of its rooms; of a family scattered like seeds on wind; of a single unbroken teacup carried out of the ashes. And it is the story of what the fire could not reach — a grandmother's stories, a teacher who carried a blackboard out of the flames, a librarian who built shelves from ration crates, and a boy who discovered that words are a house no army can bomb.
Written with the precision of a literary craftsman and the humility of a witness, this is not a story of victimhood, and not one of easy uplift. It is a meditation on sumud — the steadfastness that grows roots in scorched earth — and on the difference between being unbreakable (never wounded) and unbroken (wounded, and still whole in spirit). Told in chapters that accumulate like stones in a wall and then open like windows, it belongs on the shelf beside Mornings in Jenin, A Long Way Gone, and Man's Search for Meaning.
You will walk beside one particular boy through the breaking and the rebuilding. And somewhere in these pages, a fig will be split open in an old woman's hands and offered to you — across every border, into the one country no power can occupy: the space behind your own ribs, where the stars do not go out.
A luminous, unforgettable debut about memory, home, and the quiet, unbreakable decision to remain fully human.
