A Rift in Time
Travels of My Ottoman Uncle

Najib was a journalist and romantic living in Palestine, then part of the Ottoman Empire. When he voiced his opposition to Ottoman participation in the First World War, a death sentence was put on his head. So he fled. Tracing Najib's footsteps, the author discovers that it would be impossible to flee the cage that Palestine has become.

Yet by seeing the bigger picture of the landscape and the unending struggle for freedom as Raja does, it is still possible to look towards a better future, free from Israeli or Ottoman oppression.
