What to expect
A Palestinian teenager finds his footing amid escalating violence across Jerusalem in this taut debut novel.
The sudden death of Hassan at the hands of an Israeli shakes his friends Aziz and Mustafa to their core, leaving them grappling with grief, guilt, and an uncertain future. Drawn into the orbit of Hassan's father—a respected community leader known for his charity work and fiery speeches—they struggle to find their place in a world that feels increasingly volatile.
Meanwhile, Aziz wrestles with his growing feelings for Dafna, a Jewish girl he works with in West Jerusalem. This angers Mustafa, who accuses Aziz of betraying Hassan's memory. With violence escalating around them, Aziz's mother searches for a way to secure his future, even if it means leaving behind the city he loves. But as events spiral beyond his control, Aziz is forced to confront painful truths about loss, survival, and what it means to find hope amid the ruins.
Seven Heavens Away is a gripping and moving coming-of-age story that delves into the complexities of identity, power, and the fight for freedom.
