Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Gifted with a mind that continues to impress the elders in his village, Ichmad Hamid struggles with knowing that he can do nothing to save his friends and family. Living on occupied land, his entire village operates in fear of losing their homes, jobs, and belongings. But more importantly, they fear losing each other. On Ichmad s twelfth birthday, that fear becomes reality. With his father imprisoned, his family s home and possessions confiscated, and his siblings quickly succumbing to hatred in the face of conflict, Ichmad begins an inspiring journey using his intellect to save his poor and dying family. In doing so he reclaims a love for others that was lost through a childhood rife with violence and loss, and discovers a new hope for the future. Let s make this the next Kite Runner Ricciarda Barbieri, Feltrinelli Last night I could hardly sleep. I am excited. From the first 50 pages I knew that I wanted to publish the novel in our Amsterdam imprint. (.) I really loved it, it had me gripped, it made me cry (more than laugh), it made me think and, in a way, it transformed me, which is what I ask most of in a book. Yes, yes, yes, we want to publish it Izaskun Arretxe, editor and director, Ara Llibres It has been a long time since a book struck me so hard. ( ) It is an honest novel. There is no death or tragedy in it that leaves you indifferent or that comes across as sensationalist. ( ) I felt captured from the first moment by her voice and her style. It is an honest story, exciting, with touching moments It addresses a subject which is always present. A novel that shows pain, but also hope. Carol Paris, foreign fiction editor, Ediciones B We have read The Almond Tree, and we simply love it It s such a beautiful and strong story and it made me cry several times. We will do our best to make sure that this beautiful novel gets all the readers it deserves. Inger Marit Hansen, editor, Schibsted Forlag THE ALMOND TREE offers that rare combination of emotion and meaningfulness. The very complex situation in Palestine territories and Israel is dealt with in a very clever way that provides both humanizing insight and a perspective not often seen. THE ALMOND TREE is an accessible commercial novel with a literary appeal. The characters are engaging and believable, and we sympathize deeply with them. The novel's perspective and the fact that the core of the story is a personal journey (against many odds) makes it enormously captivating. What really got me however other than the simply gripping storytelling- is that this is a book which will make us think, it offers themes and points of view you want to discuss, and I can see reading groups are just waiting for a book like this. (.) To bring such a complex and sensitive subject down to a pure human story is a great achievement, and - next to the great reading experience this book provides - I also feel it's message of perseverance, unity and humanity is important and should be spread. THE ALMOND TREE is part a sad and poignant story that reflects the inherent absurdity of the situation Ichmad's family is in, and possibly of any family during war times. But more than that, this is a moving story of family love, hope and the power of dreams.
