        			A beautiful and moving tribute to the strength of the human spirit and the enduring power of love (Ann Weisgarber, author of Orange shortlisted The Personal History of Rachel Dupree)An enthralling mix of history and Palestinian culture... Riveting (The Lady)Lilas Taha's great gift in Bitter Almonds is to create characters and scenes so richly resonant with life and vitality, that the complicated, lush world of the Middle East feels as tangible and close as any world you are living in. Crucial in our strange days? Perhaps more than anything. (Naomi Shihab Nye, author of HABIBI)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A joy to read
            
*by A***H on 5 January 2017*

A delightful and mesmerising tale recounted beautifully by a " Hakawati" (traditional storyteller) A human story, with a multifaceted love core, set against one of many crucial milestones in Middle Eastern and Palestinian history. Enough of political background to whet the appetite of those interested to look further but never straying from the core human facet of it. Kept me hooked from the very start, which I must confess, I was very pleasantly surprised. Finishing it was akin to saying goodbye to ones family and friends! Genuine and very endearing, not least due to the meticulous research that went into the social background and details of the period. Liked the style, gentle, flowing and sensual enough to leave ones imagination to take it this one step further, teasingly. On all levels, be it a nice love yarn or a profound mirror of the period through the eyes of its protagonists, it is indeed an enthralling read.Onto to greater achievements Lilas.Ali Dabbagh
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
            
*by A***R on 9 December 2015*

Great and enthralling novel that highlights issues of displacement. Particularly applicable to today's world.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A thinking-person's love story...
            
*by A***E on 11 February 2016*

I love historical novels, but only if the history comes with an engrossing plot that's filled with twists and turns I don’t expect. BITTER ALMONDS is that kind of book. The story begins in 1948 Palestine, and centers on Omar, an orphan born on the very night he and his newly-adopted family are whisked away to exile in Damascus. The reader follows brave Omar into adulthood, and into a forbidden love match with beautiful and earnest Nadia. (Note: If what you’re seeking is a mushy romance, you’d best check out the Harlequin section). BITTER ALMONDS is a period novel that expands your world and sometimes, breaks your heart. A wonderful read I recommend.
