The House in Talbiya

Set across a century and multiple countries, Omer Friedlander’s novel weaves the interconnected stories of two families—one Israeli and one Palestinian—and the house that unites them. Through vivid portrayals of diaspora, exile, and longing, the narrative explores their evolving relationships from Jerusalem to Prague, Ramallah, Berlin, and New York. Vivid and intimate, the story offers a deeply touching portrait of the lives shaped by history and the enduring search for home.
