Another Review for Lost in Thyme

“From the brilliant author of Bitter Almonds comes another beautifully told story of a Palestinian family still trying to gather the pieces of itself, generations after we were all thrown to the winds. Lost in Thyme is a page turner, and I was hooked from the first chapter.”

Quote about Lost in Thyme from Susan Abulhawa, author of Mornings in Jenin

Review of Lost in Thyme

“What a gorgeous book this is - transporting in content and presentation both. I felt lost in the joys of shared legacies, adrift in savory fragrances, all sorrows of politics and injustices washed away.”

Review of Bitter Almonds in Arabic بالعربية

كتبت ليلاس طه، الروائية الفلسطينية المقيمة في أميركا، روايتها «لوز مر» بالإنكليزية وتختار تقديم حكايتها بعيداً من السياسة وقريباً جداً من الصراعات التي تجول في قلوب شخصياتها وما تمثله من قاسم إنساني مشترك مع جميع البشر. ولعل هذا أسهم في فوز الرواية بـ «جائزة الكتاب الدولية» للتعددية الثقافية التي تُمنح سنويا في الولايات المتحدة

Sukoon Magazine Interview

In my recently published interview with Sukoon Magazine, I was asked the following question:

"Would you describe Bitter Almonds as more of a political story or more of a love story? Or maybe love is political anyway?"
