Sequel to Ghada Karmi's memoir of her childhood expulsion from Jerusalem during the 1948 Nakba, documenting her return visits to Palestine in later life as a Palestinian refugee who grew up in Britain. Karmi reflects on the transformation of her birthplace, the persistence of the occupation, and the complex emotions of diaspora return, weaving personal reckoning with political analysis of Palestinian rights and the ongoing Nakba. A valuable memoir for researchers working on Palestinian diaspora identity, the experience of return to a homeland transformed by occupation, and the ongoing personal dimensions of the Nakba for subsequent generations of Palestinian refugees.
