This Palestinian romance is both psychological and political novel. It is a sequence of memoirs, which object is such an important woman that she needs no name. Every single event runs around her. The introspective soliloquies sound unrealistic. Yet we soon understand the importance of the oriental culture in using symbols and metaphors in every day-life speech. Place and Time are indefinite in this romance, while Palestinian culture is clearly permeated all through Zaqtan’s work. The Palestinian author was born in Beit Jala, a small village attached to Bethlehem, in 1954. He worked for different cultural reviews. He now lives in Ramallah.
