Umm Saad by Ghassan Kanafani

Umm Saad, standing under the low ceiling of misery in the high ranks of the battle, contributing more than everyone else. This is how Ghassan Kanafani, the Palestinian political novelist, introduced the Palestinian mother when he wrote the novel in 1969. It is as if "Umm Saad" is the intersection point of Kanafani's previous novels. She is the elusive character in his previous works, the hidden element that lurks behind the lines, intertwining with the characters, and only reveals itself when the historical reality comes together.
