Requests:  0 Summary:  A masterful debut novel by Plimpton Prize winner Isabella Hammad, The Parisian illuminates a pivotal period of Palestinian history through the journey and romances of one young man, from his studies in France during World War I to his return to Palestine at the dawn of its battle for independence. Midhat Kamal is the son of a wealthy textile merchant from Nablus, a town in Ottoman Palestine. A dreamer, a romantic, an aesthete, in 1914 he leaves to study medicine in France, and falls in love. When Midhat returns to Nablus to find it under British rule, and the entire region erupting with nationalist fervor, he must find a way to cope with his conflicting loyalties and the expectations of his community. The story of Midhat's life develops alongside the idea of a nation, as he and those close to him confront what it means to strive for independence in a world that seems on the verge of falling apart. Against a landscape of political change that continues to define the Middle East, The Parisian explores questions of power and identity, enduring love, and the uncanny ability of the past to disrupt the present. Lush and immersive, and devastating in its power, The Parisian is an elegant, richly-imagined debut from a dazzling new voice in fiction.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Hammad Checked In Add Copy to MyList
