The Woman from Tantoura- Radwa Ashour

The Woman from Tantoura, is an amazing read. It reads like a memoir, the story of Ruqayyah, expelled from her village city in Palestine, as she witnesses the murder of her father and 2 brothers and numerous other men in the village. It follows the life of her and her children from Lebanon to Egypt, to Jordan, to Greece as they try to keep their identity and home alive. She is a witness to the horror of the Sabra and Shatila massacres. A great book for anyone trying to understand the current genocide and it's early beginnings in 1936.

Definitely recommend, Hoopoe books, author the late Radwa Ashour #aucpress #palestinevoices
