Daughter, Son, Assassin (2024)
Steven Salaita
"Daughter, Son, Assassin is a brilliant debut novel from one of Palestine's bravest and most trusted intellectuals."
Radiant Fugitives (2021)
Nawaaz Ahmed
"With a fine sense of the complex relationships among women kin, Nawaaz Ahmed has crafted an exquisite tale that explores the contradictions, love, compassion, and forgiveness in a family divided by tradition, sexuality, rivalry, religion, patriarchy, and geography."
