Touch by Adania Shibli
Touch follows a young woman, the youngest of nine sisters in a Palestinian family. In this novella her everyday sensations and actions accumulate weight and consequence. Historical events appear at the margins, including the question of Palestine and the Sabra and Shatila massacre. The prose treats small moments as ripples, making ordinary words and gestures resonate with broader significance.
