Description
Set between London, Israel and Palestine, Ever Land is a haunting and deeply human debut novel exploring memory, grief, belonging and the unresolved weight of history.
Moving between past and present, the novel follows Dinah, a Jewish teenager adjusting to a new life in Israel, and Safa, a Palestinian girl killed decades earlier during the Six-Day War, whose spirit remains suspended between worlds in search of her lost sister.
In conversation with Alexandra Pringle, Amy Abdelnoor reflects on fiction, inheritance, displacement and the emotional landscapes that exist beneath political conflict, exploring the power of storytelling to illuminate lives shaped by history, loss and the enduring search for home.
