內容簡介
內容簡介 After a terrorist attack claimed the lives of her parents, Tammar receives devastating news: her childhood home in Jaffa is slated for demolition. Pregnant and grieving, she throws herself into a legal battle to save the house-only to discover it once belonged to her Palestinian husband's family, who fled during the war of 1947. With the council hell-bent on demolishing the house for a new development, Tammar needs all the help she can get. She must reunite her estranged brothers with her husband's family-each claiming the house as their heritage. As neighbours join their fight against displacement, Tammar learns that in her conflict-scarred homeland, every stone holds multiple histories. Exploring questions of ownership and belonging, Until the Walls Come Down is a story about the tangled roots of family and place, and the power of unity. -- "An affecting, thoughtful family drama crackling with energy." - Kirkus Reviews "... a beautifully written exploration of heritage, grief, and contested identity that has a lot of complexity; it's a story with no clear right or wrong answers, just like life." - Readers' Favorite "Podjarny's writing style is soft and poetic, filled with quiet details that bring the world to life... she shows us how grief can hurt deeply but also open the door to healing, how family can break but still find its way back together, and how even in a country full of conflict and division, peace can begin with a quiet conversation, a shared memory, or a single act of kindness." -Feathered Quill
