This quarter’s selection is Behind You is the Sea by, Susan Muaddi Darraj.

Funny and touching, Behind You Is the Sea brings us into the homes and lives of three main families—the Baladis, the Salamehs, and the Ammars—Palestinian immigrants who’ve all found a different welcome in America.

Behind You Is the Sea faces stereotypes about Palestinian culture head-on and, shifting perspectives to weave a complex social fabric replete with weddings, funerals, broken hearts, and devastating secrets.

We’ll meet at Cana Wine Bar at 6pm on April 24th to discuss, please join us!
