Product Description
Review
A masterpiece of a rich and lush linguistic tapestry...The strong effect of Hilu's writing does not derive only from his new look at events of the past, but also and mainly from the way in which he compels us to think anew about today's political reality and its bleak future. .. an important, great book, and I assume it will be much discussed in the future Haaretz Book Review The most attractive young author around. The reviews danced in praise of him; in literary circles Hilu was marked as the next great hope; David Grossman called to offer his compliments. Now, with his new novel, The House of Dajani, Hilu is again taking the reader to raft in a raging river Yedioth Ahronot The House of Dajani is a surprising and excellent novel, positioning Alon Hilu in a good stand within the first rank of the important Israeli literature Ynet The House of Dajani should be read like a funny fairytale, told by an adroit storyteller. The wings of Hilu's imagination are wide and spectacular Time Out Tel Aviv An extraordinary book

Alon Hilu based his book on actual written records but I think a lot of artistic licence was used here as well.
the story is illuminating as it sheds light on a period when my mother's family was already in residence in Palestine, not all that far from Jaffa where the story takes place.
Its a well worth while read for those interested in the Palestine/Israel narrative as it illustrates both points of view.
Highly recomended.
