Sambac Beneath Unlikely Skies is written for those who had to leave collected remembrances of a childhood in Gaza by a woman far from Palestines sun and sea. Overindulgent, chaotic and sentimental, Heba Hayeks narrator struggles to navigate life in colder, unfamiliar worlds. She holds tightly to memories of home, hoping they will lead back to her sisters and mothers. Hayeks vignettes explore the methods of survival nurtured by Palestinian women in the face of colonial occupation and patriarchy - the power of community care, and of loving whats not meant to be loved. She reveals the intimate magnificence and quiet devastation of everyday life: a drive on the shore, waxing for the first time with aunties, or peeling oranges while waiting at a checkpoint.

These are fragmentary stories of life growing up in occupied Palestine and wistful, pained longings for home from exile, snatches of memory possible only because of separation and sanctuary in other countries. It's like sitting at the kitchen table over a coffee while Hayek reminisces about her family's loves and tragedies. ( )
