Returning to his hometown of Ramallah after long exile, the author is shocked to find the changes wrought, above all, by the Israeli occupation. An account--"informative, lyrical, and humorous by turn--"of his own early life in the town is interwoven with vivid descriptions of the place then and now, against a background of the town's long and varied history. A poignant evocation of time passing is joined to a sense of the brutal disruption brought about by the ongoing political situation.Wadi, Farouq is the author of 'Homes of the Heart A Ramallah Chronicle', published 2007 under ISBN 9781566566629 and ISBN 1566566622.
