layan ليان’s Reviews > Does the Land Remember Me?: A Memoir of Palestine > Status Update

I fear no one is ready for the review lol

I think this will be my favorite read of 2026

“I am sad you are refugees in another Arab country with no chance of moving forward in this life.”
I agree with this. I would have preferred my father to be a refugee in a Western country rather than an Arab one 😐

this is healing me idk how

now this is a hidden gem

“This obsession with the land, with what the land remembers, with the language of the land, is part of the essential story of the Palestinian people.”

“When the events of history tear through people’s lives and leave them uprooted, homeless, without their familiar surroundings, their community, their people, and their land, it is the stories that help them to survive.”
