Palestine's greatest prose writer (Observer)

Going Home cements the author's reputation as the best-known Palestinian writing in English (Ian Black Guardian)

Going Home is about searching for the meaning of 'home' when living in a city under occupation ... In this book, the bonds that bind Palestinians to the land are exposed. Personal and political, human and geographical histories are beautifully intertwined and preserved. (Claire Kohda Hazelton Spectator)

Luminously clear-sighted ... By turns lyrical, witty and shrewd, Shehadeh is an excellent walking companion (Matt Rowland Hill Prospect)

An insightful, illuminating book (Paddy Kehoe RTE)

Shehadeh's descriptive powers are balanced by the acuity of his political insights (The Big Issue)
 

Praise for Where the Line is Drawn:
Brilliantly evokes the Palestinian tragedy by way of a complex friendship. This is a fiercely intelligent and honest account.

Raja Shehadeh reflects on ageing, failure, the occupation, and the changing face of Ramallah
