**WINNER OF THE RSL ENCORE AWARD 2024** **SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024** Reeling from a disastrous love affair, actress Sonia Nasir finds love and hope in Shakespeare and Palestine. 'A vital storyteller' ALI SMITH After years away from her family's homeland, and reeling from a disastrous love affair, actress Sonia Nasir returns to Haifa to visit her older sister Haneen. On her arrival, she finds her relationship to Palestine is fragile, both bone-deep and new. When Sonia meets the charismatic Mariam, a local director, she joins a production of Hamlet in the West Bank. Soon, Sonia is rehearsing with a dedicated, if competitive, group of men - yet as opening night draws closer, it becomes clear just how many obstacles stand before the troupe. Amidst it all, the life she once knew starts to give way to the exhilarating possibility of finding a new self in her ancestral home.
