520    In this richly detailed, beautiful and resonant novel 
       examining the Palestinian and Jewish conflicts from the 
       mid-20th century to 2002, (originally published as The 
       Scar of David in 2006, and now republished after a new 
       edit), Abulhawa gives the terrible conflict a human face. 
       The tale opens with Amal staring down the barrel of a 
       soldier's gun?and moves backward to present the history 
       that preceded that moment. In 1941 Palestine, Amal's 
       grandparents are living on an olive farm in the village of
       Ein Hod. Their oldest son, Hasan, is best friends with a 
       refugee Jewish boy, Ari Perlstein as WWII rages elsewhere.
       But in May 1948, the Jewish state of Israel is proclaimed,
       and Ein Hod, founded in 1189 C.E., was cleared of its 
       Palestinian children... and the residents moved to Jenin 
       refugee camp, where Amal is born. Through her eyes we 
       experience the indignities and sufferings of the 
       Palestinian refugees and also friendship and love. 
       Abulhawa makes a great effort to empathize with all sides 
       and tells an affecting and important story that succeeds 
       as both literature and social commentary.
