Description

A blackly funny account of everyday life in Ramallah and refreshingly different from most writing on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Sharon and My Mother-in-Law describes Suad Amiry’s life on the West Bank from the early 1980s to the first decade of the new millennium. Vividly evoking her neighbourhood and her moving family history, Amiry creates a fascinating account of her attempts to live a normal life in an insane situation: from the impossibility of acquiring gas masks during the first Gulf War to her dog acquiring a Jerusalem passport when thousands of Palestinians couldn’t. During the Israeli invasion of Ramallah in March 2002, Amiry’s feisty ninety-two-year-old mother-in-law came to live with them, and Amiry’s diary of this time is at the heart of this wonderful book about the absurdity (and agony) of life in the Occupied Territories.
