One of the main characters, Richard Redford, is charged with murder. His life was threatened with death if he did not confess. But he chose such a point of view that he would have nothing to say to anyone. His indecision to speak causes bewilderment to others. Should a hero accept death with honor or not broken promises?
Now a major motion picture from award–winning director Eran Kolirin: A “disturbing and powerfully accomplished novel” of conflicting allegiances among Arab Israelis from the acclaimed author of Dancing Arabs (The Guardian). A young Arab journalist returns to his hometown—an Arab village in Israel’s borderland near the West Bank. There, his conflicted sense of belonging is forced into crisis when the village becomes a pawn in the endless power struggle that is the Middle East. Hoping to reclaim the simplicity of life among his kin, the prodigal son returns home to find that nothing is as he remembers: everything is smaller, the people are petty and provincial. But 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 takes hold and the village community devolves into chaos. In Let It Be Morning, Arab Israeli author Sayed Kashua once again “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” (School Library Journal). “Kashua . . . writes about the Israeli Arabs’ balancing act with knowledge and passion.” —Publishers WeeklyVer libro
