A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR from NPRย ย โข Set in Jaffa in between 1947 and 1951, this โfable-like historical novel of young love ... darkly humorous and touchingโ (Oprah Daily) is based on a true story during the beginning of the destruction of Palestine and displacement of its people.
Based on the true story of two Jaffa teenagers, Mother of Strangers follows the daily lives of Subhi, a fifteen-year-old mechanic, and Shams, the thirteen-year-old student he hopes to marry one day. In this prosperous and cosmopolitan port city, with its bustling markets, cinemas, and cafรฉs on the hills overlooking the Mediterยญranean Sea, we meet many other unforgettable characยญters as well, including Khawaja Michael, the elegant and successful owner of orange groves above the harbor; Mr. Hassan, the tailor who makes Subhiโs treasured English suit, which he hopes will change his life; and the very mischievous and outrageous Uncle Habeeb, who insists on introducing Subhi to the local bordello.
ย
With a thriving orange export business, Jaffa had always been a city welcoming to outsidersโthe โMother of Strangersโโwhere Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived peacefully together. Once the bombardment of the city begins in April 1948, Suad Amiry gives us the grim but fascinating details of the shock, panic, and destrucยญtion that ensues. Jaffa becomes unrecognizable, with neighborhoods flattened, families removed from their homes and separated, and those who remain in constant danger of arrest and incarceration. Most of the populaยญtion flees eastward to Jordan or by sea to Lebanon in the north or to Egypt and Gaza in the south. Subhi and Shams will never see each other again.
ย
Suad Amiry has written a vivid and devastating acยญcount of a seminal moment in the history of the Middle Eastโthe beginning of the end of Palestine and a porยญtrait of a city irrevocably changed.
