The Hollow Half by Sarah Aziza

The Hollow Half is a memoir in which Sarah Aziza’s hospitalization for an eating disorder becomes the catalyst for tracing three generations of her Palestinian family—from Gaza to the Midwest and New York. Through memories, dreams, and recovered stories she explores how personal trauma and anorexia intersect with generational displacement, silence, and resilience. The book weaves language and family history as she resists assimilation and patriarchy and seeks a form of healing grounded in survival and love.
