An important testament to political failure, never more relevant than today.

- Anthony Sattin, Time Out

A new geography has come into being. This beautiful book is not just a guide to the Palestinian present; it is an Israeli album of what is taking place in a faraway land: Palestine.

Ha'aretz

Few Palestinians have opened their minds and hearts with such frankness

New York Book Review

Shehadeh writes beautifully, his language infused with a lyrical, melancholic sense of loss. An important record of a land marked by conflict that is changing everyday

Sunday Telegraph

Towards any proper understanding of history there are many small paths. I strongly suggest you walk with him.

- John Berger,

Palestinian Walks is a stoic account of a particular place, but one which has universal resonance. The judges felt it made landscape into the essence of politics, and political writing into an art

- John seaton, chair of the Orwell Prize committee, 2008,

Shehadeh describes howthe destruction of a beloved landscape mirrors the damage to Palestinian identity...lyrical nature-writing with understated political passion

Guardian

Palestinian Walks provides a rare historical insight into the tragic changes taking place in Palestine.

- Jimmy Carter,

This is a beautiful book and a sad one.

- Anthony Lewis,

Readers... would do well to reckon with the painful particulars of Shehadeh's account, which is at once gentle and angry, resolute and realistic.
