A heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what "The Kite Runner "did for Afghanistan. Forcibly removed from the ancient village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejas are moved into the Jenin refugee camp. There, exiled from his beloved olive groves, the family patriarch languishes of a broken heart, his eldest son fathers a family and falls victim to an Israeli bullet, and his grandchildren struggle against tragedy toward freedom, peace, and home. This is the Palestinian story, told as never before, through four generations of a single family. The very precariousness of existence in the camps quickens life itself. Amal, the patriarch's bright granddaughter, feels this with certainty when she discovers the joys of young friendship and first love and especially when she loses her adored father, who read to her daily as a young girl in the quiet of the early dawn. Through Amal we get the stories of her twin brothers, one who is kidnapped by an Israeli soldier and raised Jewish; the other who sacrifices everything for the Palestinian cause. Amal's own dramatic story threads between the major Palestinian-Israeli clashes of three decades; it is one of love and loss, of childhood, marriage, and parenthood, and finally of the need to share her history with her daughter, to preserve the greatest love she has. Previously published in a hardcover edition with a limited run under the title "The Scar of David," this powerful novel is now available in a fully revised, newly titled paperback edition. The deep and moving humanity of "Mornings in Jenin "forces us to take a fresh look at one of the defining political conflicts of our lifetimes.

非常喜欢,翻译得很流畅。我们都知道这是一个弱肉强食的社会,生命的一文不值,尊严的一文不值,即使我生长在一个没有硝烟、可以温保的地方,也无法沾沾自喜,人类是一个整体,那一部分痛了,这一部分早晚也会疼痛。看着书,会羡慕主人公曾经拥有的家园和土地,毕竟现在这里从...
评分看完了,心里难受了一阵。 每个峰回路转,每次他们的相聚都以为结局会是越来越好,故事却在阿梅尔的家人一个个离去中发展,最后是她的离去。 从来没有太过关注中东,不太关注巴勒斯坦,以色列,黎巴嫩,阿拉伯。看完书,默默地想了很久,没有经历过战争年代的我们,常常以为只...
评分很久没有读过这么流畅的小说了,我很喜欢这部。令我想到之前的《出埃及记》,整个架构、人物的关系和叙述的方式都相似,虽然它们代表的是战争的两方……还让我想到《流浪的星星》,文字表达的方式也有些许相似,但还是《星星》的文字更感人,更细腻些,但本作的文字也确实令人...
评分 评分躺在床上,默默的也看完了《大卫的伤疤》 关于以色列,关于巴勒斯坦,关于黎巴嫩,还关于能接纳一切名族的美国... 前不久看了十三钗,对战争中士兵与妇女的残忍,一而再的怵目惊心,而在书中轻描淡写的几句,发觉,这样的事情在巴勒斯坦怎么可能会没有呢,抑或是参杂这其他...
