"'You were dead, Sarah, you were dead.' In October 2019, Sarah Aziza, daughter and granddaughter of Gazan refugees, is narrowly saved after being hospitalized for an eating disorder. The doctors revive her body, but it is no simple thing to return to the land of the living. Aziza's crisis is a rupture which brings both her ancestral and personal past into vivid present. The hauntings begin in the hospital cafeteria, when a mysterious incident stirs the taste of Aziza's childhood, and summons the familiar voice of her deceased Palestinian grandmother. In the months following, as she responds to a series of ghostly dreams, Aziza unearths family secrets that reveal the ways her own trauma and anorexia echo generations of Palestinian displacement and erasure--and how her fight to recover builds on a century of defiant survival and love. As she moves towards this legacy, Aziza learns to resist the forces of occupation, denial, and patriarchy both within and outside her"--
