Representaion In Pursuance Of Books The Almond Tree

This is an alternate-cover edition for ASIN B008XM0AZM. Gifted with a brilliant mind that has made a deep impression on the elders of his Palestinian village, Ahmed Hamid is nevertheless tormented by his inability to save his friends and family. Living under occupation, the inhabitants of the village harbour a constant fear of losing their homes, jobs, belongings – and each other. On Ahmed’s twelfth birthday, that fear becomes a reality. With his father now imprisoned, his family’s home and possessions confiscated and his siblings quickly succumbing to hatred in the face of conflict, Ahmed embarks on a journey to liberate his loved ones from their hardship, using his prodigious intellect. In so doing, he begins to reclaim a love for others that had been lost over the course of a childhood rife with violence, and discovers new hope for the future.

Assess About Books The Almond Tree
A remarkable story about Ichmad, an impoverished child living in war torn Israel through the fighting between the Jews and Palestinians. A devastating view of war and how unarmed citizens are pulled in innocently striping them of loved ones, necessities and at times, even spirit. The story of Ichmad is of a 12 year old boy who was able to rise above and move beyond the barriers of poverty because of his genius mathematical skills. It cost him loved -ones including his own brother who believed

Something so terrible happens to a family in a small village in Palestine in the first chapter of this powerful novel and I thought they couldn' t endure anymore . I was wrong ; bad things just keep happening and the loss and suffering was overwhelming . Yet, I am glad that I kept reading - actually I couldn't put it down .Ichmad , the oldest son , through a rash and immature decision , has to become the caretaker of his family who live in this occupied village. He is extraordinarily intelligent

I looked forward to reading this book because of the subject matter; unfortunately, the novel was disappointing.The book is the fictional memoir of a Palestinian named Ichmad Hamid. Covering the years from 1955 to 2009, the focus is on the extreme suffering of Ichmads large family at the hands of the Israeli occupiers. Crisis follows crisis, although Ichmad is able to better his life because of his intelligence.A major problem is the weak characterization. Ichmads portrayal is unrealistic as

Disclaimer: I do not feel that I am educated enough to judge this novel against real and documented history. The political situation in Israel, Palestine, and the surrounding areas is complicated enough without me taking a ham-fisted swing at it; therefore, I will only be looking at this novel as a work of fiction and weighing it accordingly.The Almond Tree made me roll my eyes so hard and so often that they now swing freely in their sockets. I have googly eyes. I look like a certain

The Almond Tree is more than a beautiful compelling story.  It is also very sad. Imagine the outcry if a 3 year old Canadian girl died because she chased a butterfly into a field next to her home. And unknown to her had entered a mine field, deliberately put there to kill whoever entered it.This is the story of a Palestinian family whose only crime was to live on a farm Israeli settlers wanted. The family, forced into a hovel and then a tent is pushed to the brink of extinction. The two oldest

There is no doubt in my mind that Michelle Cohen Corasanti is one of today's greatest novelists, and most important socio-political commentators. What she's done with The Almond Tree is highlighted the cause of one of the world's most unjustifiably maligned, and oppressed people. She's also produced a beautiful multifaceted story which is in equal parts utterly riveting, shocking, and addictive. If you liked Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, you'll love this.

Heart breaking & reality based. But it didn't hit me the way it should be. I'm in between 3 & 4 stars. Nevertheless this book has many beautiful lines. "Courage, I realised, was not the absence of fear: it was the absence of selfishness; putting someone elses interest before ones own.""Dont allow guilt to enter your heart, because its a disease, like cancer, thatll eat away at you until theres nothing left."Its about his sentence, isnt it? Tell me what it says.Fourteen years. That was
