Set in Jaffa in between 1947 and 1951, this “fable-like historical novel of young love ... darkly humorous and touching” (Oprah Daily) is based on a true story during the beginning of the destruction of Palestine and displacement of its people. Based on the true story of two Jaffa teenagers, Mother of Strangers follows the daily lives of Subhi, a fifteen-year-old mechanic, and Shams, the thirteen-year-old student he hopes to marry one day. In this prosperous and cosmopolitan port city, with its bustling markets, cinemas, and cafés on the hills overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, we meet many other unforgettable characters as well, including Khawaja Michael, the elegant and successful owner of orange groves above the harbor; Mr. Hassan, the tailor who makes Subhi’s treasured English suit, which he hopes will change his life; and the very mischievous and outrageous Uncle Habeeb, who insists on introducing Subhi to the local bordello. With a thriving orange export business, Jaffa had always been a city welcoming to outsiders—the “Mother of Strangers”—where Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived peacefully together. Once the bombardment of the city begins in April 1948, Suad Amiry gives us the grim but fascinating details of the shock, panic, and destruction that ensues. Jaffa becomes unrecognizable, with neighborhoods flattened, families removed from their homes and separated, and those who remain in constant danger of arrest and incarceration. Most of the population flees eastward to Jordan or by sea to Lebanon in the north or to Egypt and Gaza in the south. Subhi and Shams will never see each other again. Suad Amiry has written a vivid and devastating account of a seminal moment in the history of the Middle East—the beginning of the end of Palestine and a portrait of a city irrevocably changed.

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, Camus's masterpiece gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. Behind the intrigue, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life. First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.

Nan and Jim, a professional couple, forsook the city ten years ago for a more congenial life of self-sufficiency in the North West of Ireland. Now in their mid-forties, they each pursue their respective careers - she, a much sought-after professional pianist, and he, an archaeologist, doing the occasional bit of research, but now more involved with his calves and his chickens and the oddities that go to make up rural Ireland. Long ago, the couple decided not to have any children, which suited them both. Their idyllic domestic set-up might have continued unchallenged, but for the arrival on one hot summer's morning of a letter from a solicitor in England. A young man claiming to be Nan's son is anxious to meet her. The news throws Nan into an emotional turmoil, not least because she has hidden the fact of her son's existence from Jim. She gave birth to the child in the repressive society of 1960s Ireland when she was barely a teenager and was forced to 'do a runner' to England to have him adopted. Jim is shocked and incensed by the revelation, and gradually their relationship seems to fall apart. Leland Bardwell portrays a marriage under almost intolerable strain, and charts the pai
