hello Suzan Your novel made me want to know more about my country . I read the novel if I were stranger Like I'm not a Palestinian citizen ,it gave me bad feeling , people in this novel are so different from us , they are the indigenous Palestinian Now most of us forgot the "DREAM OF RETURN" we forgot Jerusalem Unfortunately we're no longer fighting the Jews anymore,we're fighting ourselves ?
Susan Abulhawa
we were never fighting the Jews. We are fighting zionists and israelis. Jews have always been part of Palestinian history; they were Palestinian, not the Europeans who landed on our shores with guns and nefarious designs. I’m sorry you feel so far from your roots.

Dear Susan, I run a book club in Morocco where we discuss Arab authors. We'll be reading your book 'Mornings in Jenin" this month. The members are both english and french speakers. I've been trying to find copies of the book but it seems there are not available any more. Is there any way you can help me on this? Best regards Raquel
