The year of my birth, 1932, was not a very notable one, and for me, even the year 1936, the year of the Arab uprising in Palestine, did not have much significance. There had been a number of such revolts against the British Mandate since the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which had promised a homeland for the Jews in Palestine, despite the fact that the Arabs had called it home for millennia and constituted at the time 95 percent of the population. What made the 1936 revolt different for me, my brother, who was born in 1934, and my mother, was that my father, along with the Arab personalities, was deported to the Seychelles Islands by the British Mandate. The exile did not last long and I honestly do not remember how much our life as children was affected by it, though it must have been hard on my mother.
In this book, Mrs. Laila Faris Baroody opened her heart, and talked about her memories in Jerusalem, the city that she was born in, went to school in, growing up in and then abruptly left, never to return. She wrote about her childhood in Jerusalem, about her family, her education, and her staying in Beirut. In this book, we will find bitter and sweet moments that marked Leila’s life and she wanted to share them with her reader.
