From a dazzling new literary voice, Salt Houses is a remarkable debut novel about a Palestinian family caught between the present and the past, between displacement and home. The story begins on the eve of Alia's wedding, as her mother Salma reads her future in coffee dregs, foreseeing an unsettled life full of travel and upheaval. When the family is uprooted after the Six-Day War of 1967, their journey of loss and resilience winds through Nablus, Kuwait City, Beirut, Paris, and Boston. The novel lyrically explores generational trauma, the challenges of assimilation, and the heartache of losing one's home again and again. Salt Houses invites readers to deeply empathize with an age-old conflict through a deeply personal lens.
