Touch
Adania Shibli
Translated by:
Paula Haydar
Author is from, and story is set in
Palestine State
Touch centers on a girl, the youngest of nine sisters in a Palestinian family. In the singular world of this novella, this young woman's everyday experiences - watching a funeral procession, fighting with her siblings, learning to read, perhaps falling in love - resonate until they have become as weighty as any national tragedy.
