Synopsis
This work is an autobiographical memoir about the ironies of homecoming. The bridge that Barghouti crosses as a young man leaving his country in 1966 to pursue university studies in Cairo, is the same bridge that he uses to cross back in 1996 after a 30-year diaspora. It is about the harrowing experience of a Palestinian, denied the most elementary human rights in his occupied country and in exile alike.

Review
"The most eloquent statement in English of what it is like to be a Palestinian today... No other book so well explains the background to recent events in Palestine/Israel." "One of the finest existential accounts of Palestinian displacement that we now have." "Forceful, lyrical, evocative....A wonderful read."
