A gem-like parable about Palestine, timely and prismatic

Nabila Yasmeen is in her eighties. She lives alone with over a hundred plants that she keeps in pots because she can’t bear to put them in the ground.

In June of 1948, as a six-year-old girl, she was expelled with her family from their village in Palestine. Now she carries the weight of that expulsion with her, and her past and present are one. Told in two timeframes, The Sunbird is a modern parable that tells the story of millions who just want to go home.

Searing, honest, raw. This stunningly beautiful portrayal of exile and loss both broke and healed my heart at once. I have bought copies for many of my loved ones so they too can find comfort in its pages.Tess Wood

Gives aching resonance to the loss and longing, and ultimately the resilience, of the Palestinian people.The Sydney Morning Herarld
