Reviews
"[Hanan al-Shaykh] masterfully blends Arabic parable and Western resolve to enter her illiterate mother's mind and heart, writing what [her mother] could not. The Locust and the Bird conquers the distance between mother and daughter, revealing the tragedies that can ensue when cultural machismo forces brave women into impossible choices." -Jayne Anne Phillips, More "While I was reading Hanan's book, my regret as an author was not to have known Kamila, Hanan's mother, the extravagant narrator of this book. What a Woman!!! What a storyteller!!! When I finished the book I had one major thought: this the kind of story one needs to be a real Lebanese in order to turn it into a movie. That was my other regret as a movie maker. But most of all I felt extremely lucky to spend time with someone so intelligent, full of humor and love." -Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis "A vital novel about the lives of Arabic families. . . . [It] burns with truth on so many levels, it would be sad indeed if this book did not make its way into many, many handbags. . . . Forgiveness-not anger-saturates this book like a perfume; every character is desperately, vulnerably human. Al-Shaykh's triumph is that she retrieves her mother's wisdom-a wondrous lesson for grown daughters everywhere. [ The Locust and the Bird ]has a warmth that crosses cultures and feels like a pure, shining blast of sun." - Los Angeles Times "A tale of female independence. . . . Deeply reflective and moving. . . . Al-Shaykh climbs into the body of her mother, skillfully re-creating the voice of a talented and charismatic storyteller. . . . Our unconventional mothers may make choices that damage our hearts, but as al-Shaykh shows us, those same choices can ultimately save us from a fate such as theirs. We can honor them by holding the nuances of their lives up to the light. We can become what they could not become. In doing so, we set them free." - San Francisco Chronicle "It is an extraordinarily brave act for a writer to undertake to inhabit, fully and sympathetically, the life her mother lived." -J.M. Coetzee, Nobel Prizewinning author of Disgrace "Hanan al-Shaykh is one of the most courageous writers of the Arab world. Her novels, chock full of marvelous characters, conventional and unconventional, have drastically changed how women in the Middle East are perceived. This memoir, the story of her irrepressible mother, might help explain the origins of Hanan Al-Shaykh's singular ability to trailblaze." -Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati "A riveting, deeply compelling character study, The Locust and the Bird combines real dramatic tension with historical and political relevance. Charming, egotistical, funny, vain, spell-binding, Hanan al-Shaykh's mother Kamila defies religion, family, and tradition to create a life on her own terms, demanding true love and resisting oppression at all costs. This is a fabulously addictive read." -Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Crescent "Tender. . . . [ The Locust and the Bird ] courageously addresses both the themes of geographical separation and the jagged motifs of mother-daughter conflict. Finally, it draws them beautifully together. . . . I have never read a memoir which so clearly demonstrates art's power to help us survive. Kamila's tale, energetically translated by Roger Allen, gains extra poignancy from being dictated to her daughter; held inside her daughter's tale. The daughter, giving birth to her mother, learns to love her." - The Independent (London) "Frank and uncompromising. . . .

Anyone wishing to put a face to a world that is as misunderstood as it is maligned will love this book. That vital human connection is here, regardless of religion or the passage of time. Kamila's trials are the trials of all women who have sought to be free; her choices some of the toughest yet made in the name of independence. To have it retold so beautifully is a great tribute to her." -The Times(London) "A powerful book on the danger, "Courageously addresses both the themes of geographical separation and the jagged motifs of mother-daughter conflict . . .
