A conversation between Sara Haddad and Anne Monsour for the book The Sunbird.
About the book: Nabila Yasmeen is in her eighties. She lives alone with over a hundred plants that she keeps in pots because she can’t bear to put them in the ground. In June of 1948, as a six-year-old girl, she was expelled with her family from their village in Palestine. Now she carries the weight of that expulsion with her, and her past and present are one. The Sunbird is a modern parable which tells the story of millions who just want to go home.
About the author: Sara Haddad is an editor and writer who has worked in publishing for 35 years. A Lebanese Australian, she lives on Gadigal land with her husband and two children. She hopes that one day all Palestinians will be free to return to their country and live there without fear.
