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.

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...
评分书写的很好,翻译也很流畅,无论是一开始温馨的家园生活,还是后来的家国破灭,小说的描述非常具有画面感,很能引人入胜。 但是整部书看得异常缓慢,主要是作者用相当纪实性的手法去描述情节的发展,因为情节的日趋沉重,整部书的气氛格外压抑。 如果你想看一本轻松愉快的书,...
评分一个家族的分散聚合,巴勒斯坦半个多世纪的历史。这个世界的人民要承受多少的苦难,才能够有一丝安宁的生活,简单的幸福。生活的那些残酷,直接得不管你接不接受。只是,我依然相信,相信,存于人心的是:真善美,以及那跨越一切国籍,政治,宗教的,只是对人,人本身的爱!--...
评分对于这本书,任何溢美之词都不为过,编辑对这本书的评价是《追风筝的人》之后又一部描写伊斯兰社会的小说,但在我看来,这本书不管在语言驾驭上还是历史环境渲染方面都远远高于《追》,通读此文,不仅让读者们了解巴以冲突的前因后果、领略伊斯兰世界的风土人情,更为重要的是...
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...
