The Land Beneath the Light

From her rural farmhouse at the bottom of the hilltop surrounded by the Occupation, Khadija’s life changes forever when the shadows come and cause destruction in her village.

In the wake of upheaval and ruin, Khadija draws upon her deeply rooted Palestinian heritage and stories, often shared through the voice of a storyteller, to get through. A classic coming of age novel, The Land Beneath the Light explores the lived reality of those living under Occupation in Palestine. References to Islamic theology provide an ethereal backdrop to a story set in one of the most sought after cities in the world.
