The Lady from Tel Aviv | Raba'i al-Madhoun

1 post | 1 read

In the economy class of a plane, the lives of two passengers intersect: Walid, a Palestinian writer, is returning to Gaza for the first time in thirty-eight years; Dana, an Israeli actress, is on her way back to Tel Aviv. As the night sky hurtles past, what each confides and conceals will expose the chasm between them in the land they both call home. Walid soon discovers that Gaza has changed beyond all recognition. Yet through the haze of checkpoints and lives lived across borders, he finds a message from Dana that will change the course of his life. The Lady from Tel Aviv is a powerful and poetic story of love, loss and the desire to belong. The Lady from Tel Aviv will take you to the height of reading pleasure' Elias Khoury Al-Madhoun brings Gaza to life vividly through his characters and his ability to acknowledge the absurd within the tragic.' Selma Dabbagh

The Lady from Tel Aviv | Raba'i al-Madhoun

so-so

I liked the setting as I haven't read many books at in Gaza and you really get inside the characters head. He uses the story and characters really well to convey the culture and political situation. But at times I lost interest in the story and some of the dialogue is unconvincing, possibly this is a translation choice.
