About the book
Treasured views of family and neighbourhood life, native to the Galilee, in the years leading up to and following the upheavals of 1948. A collection of four stories, told with simplicity and warmth, they include three set during the time of British mandate rule: 'Zuha and the Book Vendor,' 'The English Gramophone,' and 'Yildiz the Turkish Woman.' These are followed by the book's title work, a remembrance that travels from childhood to elder years, pursued by loss. Imagined or recalled in exile, these are vivid, evocative mementos that restore a stolen past to memory under the gaze of angels.
