About The Book
Returning to his home town of Ramallah after long exile, the author is shocked to find the changes wrought, above all, by the Israeli occupation. An account—informative, lyrical and humorous by turn—of his own early life in the town is interwoven with vivid descriptions of the place then and now, against a background of the town’s long and varied history. A poignant evocation of time passing is joined to a sense of the brutal disruption brought about by the ongoing political situation.

Raves and Reviews
"Wadi's book is a beautiful, often inevitably melancholy elegy, but there is little regret here and almost no resentment. Despite the political implications of his book, Wadi has not written a litany of complaints. Homes of the Heart, in fact, might best be understood as a portrait of the growth of an artist and an essay on the meaning and pleasure of writing, which is also a form of resistance."
"This book does not make any political conclusions at all, but it's not meant to. It is simply a story about one man and his connection to the place of his birth. In that regard it is both timeless and borderless-it is a story anyone with a love of country would both enjoy and understand."
