I stumbled across this book as a result of an Internet search and I am so glad I did. Reminiscent of the style of [b:The Joy Luck Club|7763|The Joy Luck Club|Amy Tan|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1304978653s/7763.jpg|1955658], this novel is told in interconnected stories from the perspective of Palestinian-American daughters, whose mothers each carry a different story of life as an exile from her homeland. The setting of South Philly is alive and beautiful. There is no overt political theorizing or commentary on the exilic/immigrant experience, but the truths are inlaid artfully on the pitch-perfect characterization and fluid storytelling. I enjoyed reading this very much and felt connected to the characters and their lives—so different from my own, and yet genuinely relatable. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In The Inheritance of Exile, Susan Muaddi Darraj expertly weaves a tapestry of the events and struggles in the lives of four Arab-American women. Hanan, Nadia, Reema, and Aliyah search for a meaningful sense of home, caught in the cultural gap that exists between the Middle East and the United States. Daughters of Palestinian immigrants who have settled into the diverse southern section of Philadelphia, the four friends live among Vietnamese, Italians, Irish, and other ethnic groups. Each struggles to reconcile her Arab identity with her American one. Muaddi Darraj adds the perspectives of the girls? mothers, presented in separate stories, which illuminate the often troubled relationship between first and second generations of immigrants. Her suite of finely detailed portraits of arresting characters, told in evocative, vivid language, is sure to intrigue those seeking enjoyment and insight.
