About the Story

Eight women tell stories of love and longing. They are stories of themselves, their mothers, and the other women in their lives. Together, this collection of stories describes different political and social situations that most Palestinians have touched in modern history. Set in the bride’s party on the eve of her wedding, we hear the treasured memories of youth, lost love, and companionship. And we also hear the tales of woe, fear, lost land, and war.
