About the Author:
Sayed Kashua was born in 1975 in the Galilee and now lives in Beit-Safafa, an Arab village within Jerusalem. He writes a column for the Ha’aretz, Israel’s most prestigious newspaper. His first novel, Dancing Arabs, was a San Francisco Chronicle Book of the Year.
From School Library Journal:
Adult/High School–A young Arab-Israeli journalist moves from Tel Aviv back to his childhood village with his wife and baby daughter just in time to be caught up in a series of harrowing, dramatic events. In response to Israels military presence in the village, neighbors and relatives find themselves fighting one another in order to survive. The first-person narrative gives this novel the sort of immediacy often found in YA fiction; although the narrator is nearly 30, the short chapters and fast pace, combined with the memories of youth that his return home elicits, make for an easy fit for older teens with an interest in other cultures or current events. Some words or concepts are not explicitly defined, but are made clear in context. A real strength here is the unusual perspective; the novel relates the experience of those caught in the middle, the Arab-Israelis who are citizens but are separated from many of their countrymen by faith and heritage. The unspoken answer to the unnamed protagonists query about his own village: Who are they anyhow? is hinted at in the unsettling conclusion. A natural choice for teens who have discovered Albert Camus The Stranger.–Jenny Gasset, Orange County Public Library, CA

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Imagine your own home surrounded by roadblocks and tanks, your water turned off and the cashpoints empty. What would you do next? A young journalist, recently married with a young child, is seeking a quieter life away from the city and has bought a large new home in his parent's hometown. It's a complicated return - his wife hates his parents - but they are also moving back to live in an Arab village in Israel. Nothing is as they remember: everything is smaller, the people petty and provincial and the villagers divided between sympathy for the Palestinians and dependence on the Israelis. Suddenly and shockingly, the village becomes a pawn in the never-ending power struggles of the Middle East. When Israeli tanks surround the village without warning or explanation, everyone inside is cut off from the outside world. As the situation grows increasingly dire, paranoia begins to threaten the community's fragile equilibrium, forcing the hero to decide what it means to be human in an inhuman situation. Introducing a world literary figure: Sayed Kashua's Let It Be Morning is written with the moral clarity of Damon Galgut and the existential power of Albert Camus.
