Isabella Hammad's remarkably accomplished debut novel very quickly snares the reader's attention... Hammad is a natural storyteller... The writing is deeply humane, its wide vision combined with poised restraint... A story of cultures in simultaneous conflict and concord, The Parisian teems with riches - love, war, betrayal and madness - and marks the arrival of a bright new talent. Guardian

'A sublime reading experience: delicate, restrained, surpassingly intelligent, uncommonly poised and truly beautiful' Zadie Smith
**WINNER OF THE BETTY TRASK AWARD 2020**
Midhat Kamal - dreamer, romantic, aesthete - leaves Palestine in 1914 to study medicine in France, under the tutelage of Dr Molineu. He falls deeply in love with Jeannette, the doctor's daughter. But Midhat soon discovers that everything is fragile: love turns to loss, friends become enemies and everyone is looking for a place to belong.
Through Midhat's eyes we see the tangled politics and personal tragedies of a turbulent era - the Palestinian struggle for independence, the strife of the early twentieth century, and the looming shadow of the Second World War. Lush and immersive, and devastating in its power, The Parisian is an elegant, richly-imagined debut from a dazzling new voice in fiction.
