A Palestinian reimagining of Jane Eyre

 

From her rural farmhouse at the bottom of the hilltop surrounded by the Occupation, Khadija’s life changes forever when the shadows come and cause destruction in her village.

 

In the wake of upheaval and ruin, Khadija draws upon her deeply rooted Palestinian heritage and stories, often shared through the voice of a storyteller, to get through. A classic coming of age novel, The Land Beneath the Light explores the lived reality of those living under Occupation in Palestine.
