Von einer Rückkehr nach Palästina und der Suche nach den eigenen Wurzeln in einem Land, das keines ist. Der neue, gefeierte Roman von Isabella Hammad - eine der 'Best Young British Novelists under 40' (Granta) Nach vielen Jahren in London und einer schmerzhaft gescheiterten Beziehung reist Schauspielerin Sonia zu ihrer älteren Schwester nach Haifa. Dort lernt sie die charismatische Mariam kennen, die im Westjordanland eine palästinensische Theaterproduktion des „Hamlet“ auf die Beine zu stellen versucht. Nach anfänglichem Zögern willigt Sonia ein, die Rolle der Gertrude zu übernehmen. Doch je weiter die Proben voranschreiten, desto mehr wird Sonia von den Geistern eines Konflikts heimgesucht, der ihre entwurzelte und in alle Richtungen verstreute Familie genauso wie die gesamte Region nicht zur Ruhe kommen lässt. Als in Jerusalem ein Attentat auf israelisches Wachpersonal verübt wird, droht die Lage auch für die Theatergruppe zu eskalieren. Und doch entdeckt Sonia etwas sehr Unvorhergesehenes: die Möglichkeit, dass es gerade dieses leidgeprüfte Palästina sein könnte, das ihrem Leben einen Halt gibt.
