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.
Imagine your home surrounded by roadblocks, your water turned off and the cashpoints empty. What would you do next? A young journalist seeking a quieter life away from the city with his new wife and young child moves to his parents' hometown. It's a complicated return - his wife hates his parents - and they are living in an Arab village in Israel. Everything seems 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.
