Salt Houses by Hala Alyan

Salt Houses by Hala Alyan

The novel opens with a mother reading coffee grounds at her daughter's wedding in Nablus and choosing not to say what she sees. Then comes 1967, and the family leaves for Kuwait.

Then 1990 and Kuwait is no longer safe, and they scatter to Beirut, Paris and Boston. Alyan is a poet and a clinical psychologist, and she writes each generation from inside — the grandmother who remembers a house, the children who inherit a longing for somewhere they have never been, and the grandchild who finds the whole thing embarrassing.

Winner of the Arab American Book Award, and one of the essential novels of Palestinian displacement.
