SUMMARY:Book Club² - "Enter Ghost" by Isabella Hammad
DESCRIPTION:A stunning rendering of present-day Palestine\, Enter Ghost i
 s a story of diaspora\, displacement\, and the connection to be found in f
 amily and shared resistance. Timely\, thoughtful\, and passionate\, Isabel
 la Hammad’s highly anticipated second novel is an exquisite feat\, an un
 forgettable story of artistry under occupation.\n\nAfter years away from h
 er family’s homeland\, and reeling from a disastrous love affair\, actre
 ss Sonia Nasir returns to Haifa to visit her older sister Haneen. This is 
 her first trip back since the second intifada and the deaths of their gran
 dparents: while Haneen made a life here commuting to Tel Aviv to teach at 
 the university\, Sonia remained in London to focus on her acting career an
 d now dissolute marriage. On her return\, she finds her relationship to Pa
 lestine is fragile\, both bone-deep and new.\n\nAt Haneen’s\, Sonia meet
 s the charismatic and candid Mariam\, a local director\, and finds herself
  roped into a production of Hamlet in the West Bank. Sonia is soon rehears
 ing Gertude’s lines in Classical Arabic and spending more time in Ramall
 ah than Haifa\, along with a dedicated group of men from all over historic
  Palestine who\, in spite of competing egos and priorities\, each want to 
 bring Shakespeare to that side of the wall. As opening night draws closer 
 it becomes clear just how many violent obstacles stand before a troupe of 
 Palestinian actors. Amidst it all\, the life Sonia once knew starts to giv
 e way to the daunting\, exhilarating possibility of finding a new self in 
 her ancestral home.\n\nPURCHASE THE BOOK FROM US HERE.\nLISTEN TO THE AUDI
