In 'Trees Unfamiliar to Birds,' Issa Salman Darwish presents a compelling and evocative narrative that delves into the complex emotions of alienation and the search for a place to belong. Through rich symbolism and poignant prose, the book uses the metaphor of trees that birds do not recognize to explore human experiences of isolation, memory, and the challenge of adapting to new environments. It's a deeply moving reflection on what it means to be an outsider and the quiet struggle to find connection in a world that often feels foreign and unwelcoming.
