| Sumario: | In this powerful novel, acclaimed Palestinian author Sahar Khalifeh examines the stark realities in the lives of Palestinian women. Through her protagonist, Zeynab, born to an American mother and a Palestinian father, Khalifeh illuminates the disorienting experience of living between two worlds, and the search for identity that mirrors the Palestinians' own quest for nationhood. Set against the emotionally charged background of the early 1990s-when the Gulf War and the Oslo Accords fundamentally shifted the political landscape-The Inheritance takes as its subject the fate of young Palestinian. |
