Against The Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa opens in The Cube, an Israeli high tech prison where Nahr, a Palestinian woman, recounts the story of how she ended up there. Nahr is in solitary confinement but spends her time taking us, the reader, through her very difficult path.In this “beautiful...urgent” novel (The New York Times), Nahr, a young Palestinian woman, fights for a better life for her family as she travels as a refugee throughout the Middle East. As Nahr sits, locked away in solitary confinement, she spends her days reflecting on the dramatic events that landed her in prison in a country she barely knows.
Born in Kuwait in the 70s to Palestinian refugees, she dreamed of falling in love with the perfect man, raising children, & possibly opening her own beauty salon. Instead, the man she thinks she loves jilts her after a brief marriage, her family teeters on the brink of poverty, she’s forced to prostitute herself, & the US invasion of Iraq makes her a refugee, as her parents had been. After trekking through another temporary home in Jordan, she lands in Palestine, where she finally makes a home, falls in love, & her destiny unfolds under Israeli occupation.
Nahr’s subversive humor & moral ambiguity will resonate with fans of My Sister, The Serial Killer, & her dark, contemporary struggle places her as the perfect sister to Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body & Other Parties.
Written with Susan Abulhawa’s distinctive “richly detailed, beautiful, & resonant” (Publishers Weekly) prose, this powerful novel presents a searing, darkly funny, & wholly unique portrait of a Palestinian woman who refuses to be a victim.
