Enter Ghost

Love, identity, and Shakespeare intertwine in Palestine.

If you've ever felt displaced or yearned for self-discovery, "Enter Ghost" may resonate deeply with you. The protagonist's journey through a tumultuous personal history against the backdrop of political and cultural turmoil provides a rich narrative that is both intimate and expansive. The unique blend of the personal with the political and the infusion of Shakespeare into the culture of the West Bank make this novel a compelling read for those seeking stories with depth and relevance.

Description

After years away from her family's homeland and reeling from a disastrous love affair, actress Sonia Nasir returns to Haifa to visit her older sister Haneen. While Haneen has made a life there, commuting to Tel Aviv to teach at the university, Sonia remained in London to focus on her acting career and her dissolute marriage. On her return, she finds her relationship to Palestine fragile, both bone-deep and new. When Sonia meets the charismatic and candid Mariam, a local director, she joins a production of Hamlet in the West Bank. Soon, Sonia is rehearsing Gertrude's lines in classical Arabic with a dedicated group of men who, in spite of competing egos and priorities, all want to bring Shakespeare to that side of the wall. As opening night draws closer and the warring intensifies, it becomes clear how many obstacles stand before the troupe. Amidst it all, the life Sonia once knew starts to give way to the daunting, exhilarating possibility of finding a new self in her ancestral home. Timely, thoughtful, and passionate, Isabella Hammad's highly anticipated second novel is an exquisite story of the connection to be found in family and shared resistance. Different to anything else being written right now in English. — Sunday Times A vital storyteller, a writer of real rhythmic grace. — Ali Smith, author of Autumn A pretty flawless writer. — The Times
