The Story
An emotionally powerful and deeply human novel that traces the unlikely connection between two families—one Palestinian, one Israeli—through the symbol of a single lemon tree. Set against the backdrop of decades of conflict, the story begins in 1967 when Dalia, a young Israeli woman, moves into a house in Ramla, only to discover that the home's previous owner, a Palestinian named Bashir, yearns to return to the courtyard where his family once tended a cherished lemon tree. Based on true events and spanning generations, this sweeping narrative explores the thorny complexities of history, memory, and the fragile possibility of reconciliation. Through the lens of ordinary people caught in an extraordinary struggle, Lemon Tree offers a poignant meditation on home, loss, and the enduring hope for peace.
