- Summary:
- A reporter stationed in Lebanon in the early 1980s recounts the story of an English missionary whose memories span World War I and the British Mandate in Palestine. She relates the life of Tareq, a former student who becomes a traveling magician and moves through Palestinian society during the period leading up to the 1936-1939 Arab revolt. Through his experiences, the narrative depicts everyday life under British colonial rule and the political tensions preceding the Nakba.
