‘A sublime reading experience: delicate, restrained, surpassingly intelligent, uncommonly poised and truly beautiful’ Zadie Smith
As the First World War shatters families, destroys friendships and kills lovers, a young Palestinian dreamer sets out to find himself.

Isabella Hammad delicately untangles the politics and personal tragedies of a turbulent era – the Palestinian struggle for independence, the strife of the early twentieth century and the looming shadow of the Second World War. An intensely human story amidst a global conflict, The Parisian is historical fiction with a remarkable contemporary voice.

Recensione:
"Isabella Hammad’s remarkably accomplished debut novel very quickly snares the reader’s attention... Hammad is a natural storyteller... The writing is deeply humane, its wide vision combined with poised restraint... A story of cultures in simultaneous conflict and concord, The Parisian teems with riches – love, war, betrayal and madness – and marks the arrival of a bright new talent." (Guardian)
"Breathtaking... Isabella Hammad establishes herself here as a literary force to be reckoned with. The Parisian is, in many ways, an extraordinary achievement." (Irish Times)
"A stunning 576-page debut, both a lush rendering of Palestinian life a century ago under the British Mandate and a sumptuous epic about the enduring nature of love... a small, beautiful, human story blazing against the enormity of the sociopolitical one... a novel you sink into." (Vogue)
"One of the most ambitious first novels to have appeared in years... Written in soulful, searching prose, it’s a jam-packed epic... Hammad is a natural social novelist with an ear for lively dialogue as well as an ability to illuminate psychological interiority... Hammad is a writer of startling talent – and The Parisian has the rhythm of life." (Observer)
"The Parisian has an up-close immediacy and stylistic panache that are all the more impressive coming from a London-born writer still in her 20s... There are intimidating 19th-century precedents – Tolstoy, Turgenev, Stendhal... Isabella Hammad has crafted an exquisite novel that, like Midhat himself, delves back into the confusing past while remaining wholly anchored in the precarious present." (New York Times Book Review)
