The Blue Between Sky and Water

The Blue Between Sky and Water is a powerful and poignant novel that explores the legacy of dispossession across continents and generations.

Set in the small Palestinian farming village of Beit Daras, the story follows the lives of the Baraka family, particularly the women, as they navigate the challenges of political and personal trauma.

With devastatingly clear-eyed vision, Abulhawa depicts the resilience of these flawed yet profoundly courageous women in the face of adversity.

Through their stories, the author sheds light on the longing for family and roots that beckons even the granddaughter of a refugee to Gaza.

With its global reach and vivid characters, this novel is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex history of the Middle East and the human experience of exile.
