The Sunbird | Sara Haddad

1 post | 1 read | 3 to read

Nabila Yasmeen is in her eighties. She lives alone with over a hundred plants that she keeps in pots because she can't bear to put them in the ground. In June of 1948, as a six-year-old girl, she was expelled with her family from their village in Palestine. Now she carries the weight of that expulsion with her, and her past and present are one. Told in two timeframes, The Sunbird is a modern parable that tells the story of millions who just want to go home.

In this novella, Nabila is 80 and lives in present day Australia. In 1948 she and her family were expelled from their village in Palestine. This modern parable is beautifully written and very accessible at only 102 pages. I hope it is read widely.
