Co-authored by Hanna Eady, a native of Palestine, and Ed Mast, hailing from California, this thought-provoking work offers an impartial and deeply humane insight into the historical backdrop of the region. The story unfolds in a Palestinian village where a harmonious coexistence between Jews and Palestinians predates the establishment of Israel. The narrative delves into the repercussions following subsequent political developments.
With a commitment to presenting a fair and empathetic view of each perspective, The Mulberry Tree centers around a poignant and significant friendship between Noor, a Palestinian boy, and Zakariah, a village rabbi. It meticulously explores the impacts and tensions stemming from the events of 1948 on all parties involved, shedding light on the intensely personal consequences of the political dynamics that shaped the territory.
