Summary
Under the Gaze of Angels offers treasured views of family and neighborhood life, native to the Galilee, in the years leading up to and following the upheavals of 1948. A collection of four stories, told with simplicity and warmth, they… include three set during the time of British mandate rule: &“Zuha and the Book Vendor,&” &“The English Gramophone,&” and &“Yildiz the Turkish Woman.&” These are followed by the book&’s title work, a remembrance that travels from childhood to elder years, pursued by loss. Imagined or recalled in exile, these vivid, evocative mementos quietly disarm the violence that surrounds them, restoring a stolen past to memory under the gaze of angels.
