    by Sahar Mustafah (Author)

    A moving multigenerational novel by the celebrated Palestinian American author of The Beauty of Your Face

    In the middle of dinner one evening, Intisar Jaber receives a phone call that will upend her quiet life in Chicago: her father is dying and she must go to Palestine to pay her final respects. But Intisar hasn't seen or heard from Hafez for nearly two decades, ever since he abandoned her and her mother to join the resistance.

    After a fateful mission, Hafez was thrown into the notorious Gahana Prison to serve a life sentence--permanently removed from her life. As soon as Intisar arrives in his village of Bayt al-Hawa, she discovers what it means to be a stranger in her ancestral land, the inheritance of loss, and the high price of freedom.

    Meanwhile, Hafez's mother Sundus battles to save the home that she built with her husband from thieving hands. Will Intisar, her estranged granddaughter, help Sundus fight to reclaim it? Can they close the gaping distance between them before it's too late?

    Powerfully etched in Sahar Mustafah's honest and lyrical prose, The Slightest Green explores the place--and people--we call home and how far we will go to reach them.
