Grensleven
Een toevallige ontmoeting brengt Liat, een aspirant-vertaalstudente uit Tel Aviv en Hilmi, een getalenteerde jonge Palestijnse kunstenaar bij elkaar. Op een winderige herfstmiddag in Greenwich Village, verlangend naar de warmte van hun geboorteland, creëren Liat en Hilmi in een intiem universum. Ondanks het feit dat ze weten dat hun liefde slechts tijdelijk kan zijn, dat het alleen kan bestaan buiten hun conflictueuze thuisland. Wanneer Liat en Hilmie hun weg voortzetten - Liat terug naar Tel Aviv, Hilmi naar Ramallah -, eindigt het verhaal niet. Wat begon in de ijzige winterkou van een vreemde stad eindigt hartje zomer op het strand van Jaffa. Een gedurfd portret van de spanningen - en geneugten - van een verboden relatie, een liefdesverhaal en een oorlogsverhaal. Een verhaal over het Midden-Oosten, een onverschrokken uitstapje naar de krachten die ons binden en ons verdelen. "Het land is hetzelfde land", herinnert Hilmi Liat eraan. "Uiteindelijk monden alle rivieren uit in dezelfde zee."

All the Rivers
A controversial, award-winning story about the passionate but untenable affair between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man, from one of Israel's most acclaimed novelists When Liat meets Hilmi on a blustery autumn afternoon in Greenwich Village, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Charismatic and handsome, Hilmi is a talented young artist from Palestine. Liat, an aspiring translation student, plans to return to Israel the following summer. Despite knowing that their love can be only temporary, that it can exist only away from their conflicted homeland, Liat lets herself be enraptured by Hilmi: by his lively imagination, by his beautiful hands and wise eyes, by his sweetness and devotion. Together they explore the city, sharing laughs and fantasies and pangs of homesickness. But the unfettered joy they awaken in each other cannot overcome the guilt Liat feels for hiding him from her family in Israel and her Jewish friends in New York. As her departure date looms and her love for Hilmi deepens, Liat must decide whether she is willing to risk alienating her family, her community, and her sense of self for the love of one man. Banned from classrooms by Israel's Ministry of Education, Dorit Rabinyan's remarkable novel contains multitudes. A bold portrayal of the strains-and delights-of a forbidden relationship, All the Rivers (published in Israel as Borderlife) is a love story and a war story, a New York story and a Middle East story, an unflinching foray into the forces that bind us and divide us. "The land is the same land," Hilmi reminds Liat. "In the end all the rivers flow into the same sea." Praise for All the Rivers"Rabinyan's book is a sort of Romeo and Juliet, a forbidden love affair between a Jewish girl from Tel Aviv and a Palestinian boy from Hebron. . . . [A] beautiful novel."-The Guardian "A fine, subtle, and disturbing study of the ways in which public events encroach upon the private lives of those who attempt to live and love in peace with each other, and, impossibly, with a riven and irreconcilable world."-John Banville, Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea "I'm with Dorit Rabinyan. Love, not hate, will save us. Hatred sows hatred, but love can break down barriers."-Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature"Astonishing . . . [a] precise and elegant love story, drawn with the finest of lines."-Amos Oz "Rabinyan's writing reflects the honesty and modesty of a true artisan."-Haaretz "Because the novel strikes the right balance between the personal and the political, and because of her ability to tell a suspenseful and satisfying story, we decided to award Dorit Rabinyan's [All the Rivers] the 2015 Bernstein Prize."-From the 2015 Bernstein Prize judges' decision "[All the Rivers] ought to be read like J. M. Coetzee or Toni Morrison-from a distance in order to get close."-Walla! "Beautiful and sensitive . . . a human tale of rapprochement and separation . . . a noteworthy human and literary achievement."-Makor Rishon "A captivating (and heartbreaking) gem, written in a spectacular style, with a rich, flowing, colorful and addictive language."-Motke "A great novel of love and peace."-La Stampa "A novel that truly speaks to the heart."-Corriere della Sera

Persian Brides
Set at the turn of the century in the fictional Persian village of Omerijan, Persian Brides tells the magical story of two young girls - Flora and Nazie Ratoryan - and their many neighbors in the almond tree alley in Omerijan where they live. Fifteen-years-old, pregnant, and recently abandoned by her cloth-merchant husband, Flora longs desperately for the return of her unborn baby's father. Nazie consoles and pities her, and though she is still only a child of eleven, she yearns - just as desperately - for her own future marriage. Although the narrative spans only two days, it branches out and back, encompassing the lives and histories of many of Omerijan's inhabitants. A blend of fantasy and reality, the narrative forcefully conveys shocking cruelties endured by many of the characters while at the same time weaving a modern-day Arabic legend where snakes offer jewels in exchange for milk and death is thwarted by appeasing the village demons.
