"What does home mean when you no longer have a house—or a homeland? This beautiful novel traces one Palestinian family’s struggle with that question and how it can haunt generations. . . . This is an example of how fiction is often the best filter for the real world around us." — NPR

Lyrical and heartbreaking, Salt Houses is a multigenerational saga that follows three generations of a Palestinian family and asks us to confront that most devastating of all truths: you can’t go home again. 4.2 Amazon, 4.0 Goodreads 338 pages
