Praise

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

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

“For a first-time author, Michelle Cohen Corasanti achieves excellence beyond the reader’s expectations, consistently and elegantly capturing the spirits of her characters and the plot, thus easily immersing the readers in the book. The book also gives the reader a deep insight into the happenings of the Israel-Palestine war through an insider’s perspective. The author’s narration style is quite evocative and gleams with knowledge and research on the Israeli occupation. .. This book is a b… Read more

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

Ghetto Guftagu

“…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

“Corasanti’s tale of resilience, hope and forgiveness is a must-read…”

Washington Report on the Middle East

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

Corasanti’s The Almond Tree will have purchase on our moral imaginations equal to that experienced through reading To Kill A Mockingbird or watching Schindler’s List.

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

“The best fiction that I read this year is for sure The Almond Tree by Michelle Cohen Corasanti”

Anu Reviews

“Arguably the most important book of the year”

Dream Crazy Book Reviews

“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

Michelle Corasanti’s debut novel brings to us a heart rending story of courage and resilience. The Almond Tree is undoubtedly one of the best books I’ve read this year. I feel that she brings a touch of gentleness and compassion in her stories which leaves the reader with an ache in the heart.

The Greedy Reader

“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 not an easy read. It is not something one can enjoy, unless one enjoys having one’s heart shredded by painful truths.Or unless one is comfortable with prods to the conscience that demand personal and perhaps costly moral action.

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

“The Almond Tree, intelligent, never over stated and written with love, informs and educates” “The details are so personal, so harrowing, yet so full of hope and triumph over evil, you desperately want it to be real.”

Hackwriters, The International Writer´s Magazine

“…definitely a five-star…the story is powerful and engrossing, definitely recommended.”

The Dubious Disciple (One of the top 10 Christian blogs in US)

“, a Kite-Runner-like epic of Palestinian life by Michelle Cohen Corasanti, makes you aware of what it’s like to exist under Israeli rule… told in a manner that strongly resembles the voice and narrative used by Khaled Hosseini in his popular novel, The Kite Runner.” “A Palestinian Tale Told by a Jewish American.” “Although possibly difficult for Israelis and Jews everywhere to read, The Almond Tree should be required reading for all as when there is understanding of the… Read more

The Times of Israel

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

Florryalyna’s blog

“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

…bewitching debut novel
