Product Description
Behind You Is the Sea is a compelling debut that fearlessly challenges stereotypes surrounding Palestinian culture.
‘Intergenerational differences … are explored from both sides with keen-eyed humanity and understanding’ Marie Claire
‘Funny and beautifully written’ Stylist Magazine
‘A rich panoply of a community’Crack Magazine Book of the Month
‘Wonderful… A novel about ordinary people fighting for what they believe to be right’ Irish Independent
‘A poignant reminder of our shared humanity … brimming with hope and empathy’ Irish Times
Funny and touching, Behind You Is the Sea brings us into the homes and lives of three main families – the Baladis, the Salamehs and the Ammars – Palestinian immigrants who’ve all found a different welcome in America. Their various fates and struggles cause their community dynamic to sizzle and sometimes explode, as their lives intersect across divides of class, generation and religion.
