Praise

“Corasanti has written a phenomenal tale, and she holds the reader’s attention completely; making this book almost impossible to set down.”

Washington Report on the Middle East

“..The book will be a best seller of the decade…’ Huffington Post was right! This would be a best seller for sure. An awesome debut by any standards, this is a story that would resonate with the reader no matter where he is from. The purpose of literature would be to the serve in a way that it transports him to the realm of the story telling and makes him an inclusive witness. If you wanted this experience then give it to the author Michelle Cohen Corasanti for she makes you live the expe… Read more

I Read Ergo I Write Blog

“…Spellbinding… Brilliant.. Mind-blowing… Remarkable…” “It has been a very long time since a book pulled me in as far as The Almond …did, and an even longer time since a book has made me cry.”

E-Book Review

“An insightful perspective on the questions of Palestinian exile and survival that haunt the Middle East…Promises a bright future for Corasanti.”

World Literature Today Magazine

“…an engaging novel with an impressive degree of empathy and authenticity. It reads like a combination of Mornings in Jenin and The Kite Runner. As such, it has the potential to reach broad audiences with a powerful message of Palestinian humanity…”

Mondoweiss, Pamela Olson author of Fast times in Palestine.

Michelle’s brilliance as a writer is hard to miss.

Ghetto Guftagu

I loved the way she described each and every character from Amal, Abbas, and Hani to Ahmed and Sara. This is the way a story should be narrated.

Timid Fingers

“The Almond Tree has all the makings of a bestseller or a Hollywood film. It is a rags-to-riches (in this case tent-dweller to international award-winner) tale with love, suffering, death and justice thrown into the mix.”

The Electronic Intifada, Selma Dabbagh author of Out of It.

“Excellent. Heart-breaking. Absolutely amazing. I could not put this down. The author does an incredible job drawing you in right from the start.”

The Printed Word Book Reviews

“…Spellbinding… Brilliant… Mind-blowing… Remarkable…”

Ujval’s Lounge

“I predict (The Almond Tree) will become one of the biggest bestsellers of the decade…” “ …an epic drama of the proportions of The Kite Runner, but set in Palestine. A story that grabs you from the first page and makes your heart go out to the Palestinians without pointing fingers at anyone. This novel is not a political lecture, but a gripping and compassionate work of fiction” “Peace will not result from any political negotiation table, neither in Madrid, nor Oslo. The miracle is… Read more

Huffington Post, Spanish TV and Radio Host Guillermo Fesser

My hope is that one day heads of state from around the globe will actually say to Michelle Cohen Corasanti, “You are the woman who, when you made us look through the eyes of Ichmad Hamid, Menachem Sharon and Abbas Hamid, of Nora,Justice and Zoher, of Baba and Yasmine, of Amal and Sara, effectively argued for peace.

Marsha Hansen (Sister in law of Keith Richards,Rolling Stones) speaks about The Almond Tree

“Nothing short of breathtaking… I could not put the book down and I knew I had to finish it. There was something in those pages that would matter in my life. And it was true.”

Donteatthepickles.wordpress.com

This stunning debut conveys a universal story of human courage and resolution. Comparable to Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, this novel delivers an inspirational story of unfathomable pain and incredible perseverance.

Timid Fingers

“Michelle Cohen Corasanti has transported her readers into the life of a Palestinian Arab so effortlessly that anyone can relate to Ahmed Hamid.”

One and a Half Minute Blog

“This book had me gripped from the first word to the last… This book was by far, one of the best books I have come across… If you like books, read it… Heck, if you do not like books, give this one a try, maybe you will start loving reading! I give this one a 10 out of 5.”

There and Their

“The Almond Tree is an inspirational narrative of profound pain, courage, hope, resilience and indomitable human spirit…But what makes Corasanti’s book stand apart is her very humanistic, sensitive and equitable handling of the events of the story.”

Reflections

“As the pages are turned, Michelle’s brilliance as a writer is hard to miss.”

The Asian Age

Like Picasso’s painting Guernica, Corasanti’s book has the power to command the world’s collective attention

Marsha Hansen (Sister in law of Keith Richards,Rolling Stones) speaks about The Almond Tree

“The Almond Tree was the best book I’ve read last year.”
