Description
Adam's story begins with a shocking revelation: he thought he knew his past, but an encounter with Blind Mahmoud changed everything. For 57 years, Adam was told a lie about his birth and the events of 1948 in Palestine. Now, driven by curiosity, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the massacre, forced march, and corralling of citizens in Lydda. As Adam delves into the past, he collects stories from those who survived unimaginable hardship. These tales speak of bravery, ingenuity, and resolve in the face of unspeakable tragedy. Translated from the Arabic by Humphrey Davies, this book is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and survival. Through Adam's journey, we are reminded of the complexities and challenges of history, and the power of stories to convey the human experience.
