‘An extraordinary, vital, urgent book.’ -- The Guardian ‘This is a book that carries the promise of a new day, or a dawning – a book that looks forward, but does so also by looking back over 4,000 years of history. [Daybreak in Gaza] is a collection of brave, resilient, heartbreaking, defiant, scared stories. … If this extraordinary volume tells us anything, it is that Gaza and Palestine will endure, the monuments will be restored and one day Palestinians will again watch the day break in peace.’ -- The Spectator ‘Daybreak in Gaza is therefore an important attempt to preserve a culture under attack and will be an early contribution to a body of literature that will likely be studied for decades to come.’ -- Middle East Eye ‘Daybreak in Gaza seeks to push back against the dehumanization at the heart of the Gaza genocide by illuminating the human spirit of a place under attack.’ -- Mondoweiss ‘[Daybreak in Gaza paints] a picture that eviscerates media stereotypes of Gaza as a valueless slum, offering heartwarming – and heartbreaking – glimpses of Palestinian humanity amid the horror.’ -- This Week in Palestine ‘A book about hope, anger and anguish.’ -- Qantara ‘A rich and moving record of a people and a geography that deserve so much more from the world’ -- Washington Report on Middle East Affairs ‘Compelling … Raw emotions infuse the pages of the book, featuring dozens of starkly intimate, firsthand reflections on the impact of war on innocent people … a culture is not reduced to rubble as easily as a mosque or marketplace. That is the most important and powerful message of this book.’ -- Commonweal Magazine 'Read this. It is brutal with human pain and still, beauty, and life. Defiant life. Resistance. And, bitterly, the injustice of it all. You cannot walk away from Daybreak in Gaza unchanged. It will break your heart; but our hearts need to be broken.' -- Harare Review of Books
