Description
The Parisian by Isabella Hammad is a masterful debut novel that brings to life a pivotal period of Palestinian history. Against the backdrop of World War I and the dawn of Palestine's struggle for independence, Midhat Kamal navigates his conflicting loyalties and expectations as he returns from studying medicine in France. As the story unfolds, The Parisian explores questions of power and identity, enduring love, and the uncanny ability of the past to disrupt the present. Set against a landscape of political change that continues to define the Middle East, this elegant and richly-imagined novel is a devastating exploration of what it means to strive for independence in a world on the verge of falling apart. With lush prose and immersive storytelling, The Parisian is a powerful and moving portrayal of one young man's journey through love, loss, and the search for identity.
