The novel 'Mornings in Jenin' tells the story of the Abulheja family across four generations, from their expulsion from the village of Ein Hod in 1948 by the newly formed state of Israel to their life in the Jenin refugee camp. The story focuses on Amal, the patriarch's granddaughter, who experiences love, loss, and the struggle for freedom. Through her, the stories of her twin brothers are intertwined: one kidnapped and raised as Jewish, and the other sacrificing himself for the Palestinian cause. The novel explores the Palestinian-Israeli conflicts over three decades, highlighting the importance of sharing family history to preserve love and identity.
