Raja Shehadeh: Palestinian Walks (Paperback, 2008, Scribner)

“A rare historical insight into the tragic changes taking place in Palestine.” —Jimmy Carter

A poignant love letter to a land

Intriguing space opera

Not a perfect debut novel, but a solid and intriguing space opera, full of cruel, coward and calculating characters, even though one important part felt deja vu (a powerful family controls the production of the substance that enables space travel...). All in all, it was an enjoyable read.

Another wonderful novella

A perfect read for an automn evening with a cup of tea. Nghi Vo is an incredible storyteller, who never loses the reader in her stories of stories told by storytellers as well as tigers. In her world, tigers fall in love in young humans, or sometimes eat them, and sit around the fire listening and re-telling their side of the old stories... It is quite magic.
