Susan Abulhawa

Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian-American novelist and human rights activist whose fiction gives voice to the Palestinian experience. Born in Kuwait to Palestinian refugees, she founded Playgrounds for Palestine. Against the Loveless World follows a Palestinian woman reflecting on her life — from a childhood in Kuwait to exile, love, and imprisonment — as the world around her is shaped by war and displacement. The novel was praised for its fierce, lyrical voice and its unapologetic portrait of Palestinian life. Her earlier novel Mornings in Jenin was an international bestseller. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers powerful, lyrical fiction that centres the Palestinian experience — stories of displacement, resilience, and the refusal to be erased.
