title: The Bells of Memory: A Palestinian Boyhood in Jerusalem
author: Issa J Boullata
description: Issa Boullata invites us to catch glimpses of his life in a Palestinian family in the uniquely pluralistic city of Jerusalem in the 1930s and 1940s. Writing simply, sympathetically, but wisely, he tells us about his life experiences at home, at school, and in society against the backdrop of the gathering political storm that culminated in the Palestinian Nakba of 1948. This book will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on its readers. -- Dr. Sari Nusseibeh, President of Al-Quds University
