| Book Description | Palestinian–Armenian Ivana eloped with a British doctor in the 1940s, in the midst of the Nakba, and emigrated to England. Over half a century later, her daughter Julie has been tasked with Ivana’s dying wish: to take her ashes back to their old home in Acre. She and her husband Walid leave London and embark on a journey to Palestine. Written in four parts, each as a concerto movement, Rabai al-Madhoun’s pioneering new novel explores Palestinian exile, with all its complex loyalties and identities. Broad in scope and sweeping in its history, it lays bare the tragedy of everyday Palestinian life. |
| Editorial Review | [Fractured Destinies] invents a new fictional form . . . [and] can be considered the complete Palestinian novel.--Amina Thiban, chair of the panel of judges for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction 2016 |
