Join us for a conversation between Sara Haddad and Anne Monsour for the book The Sunbird.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Nabila Yasmeen is in her eighties. She lives alone with over a hundred plants that she keeps in pots because she can’t bear to put them in the ground. In June of 1948, as a six-year-old girl, she was expelled with her family from their village in Palestine. Now she carries the weight of that expulsion with her, and her past and present are one. The Sunbird is a modern parable which tells the story of millions who just want to go home.
