A wonderfully written family saga covering the lives of 3 generations of "Daughters". This book is centered in Palestine starting in 1881 and ending in the 1950's. The characters are well developed and very complex. It is amazing how easily the author has you flow from 1 main character to the next. As you journey with Miriam, Nadia, and Nijmeh from childhood to adulthood and then into motherhood, you really feel their joys and sorrows. They become so real! A wonderful read for anyone.
