Praise

This is a beautifully written story that will leave no reader untouched – a story that will devour you from the beginning.

Wanda’s Reviews

“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

“The characters are filled with depth and passion and the author’s descriptive writing brings the period details to life. This is a story of family loyalty, love and sacrifice. Brilliant – poignant – achingly sad. I highly recommend with a 5 star rating.”

Review From Here Blog

“Credit goes to the author for conceptualizing and scripting this beautiful story so brilliantly.”

“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

“The story is spell-binding with universal appeal and has potential of becoming an international bestseller and can do for Palestinians what The Kite Runner did for Afghanistan.”

The Daily Star

“…one of the most riveting books I have read… Corasanti takes a realistic premise and builds an interesting and highly believable story that only gets better as the pages fly by. While “The Almond Tree” is a fictional tale, much of it is based on the truth of what is today’s world, and as such there is also an important message located within. I highly recommend this book.”

Charline Ratcliff / Rebecca’s Reads

“The Almond Tree pulls you in from the outset and doesn’t let you go. This is a gripping and beautifully told story of perseverance and hope in the face of unimaginable tragedy.”

Honey Lemon Tea Blog

“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.

“The Almond Tree should be required reading for all…”

The Times of Israel

The preconceived notion that the greatest creations in world literature have almost been achieved in the grim periods of time comes true with Michelle Cohen’s debut, The Almond Tree. Michelle, although is a lesser known novelist unlike other Jewish authors of enormous fame, Imre Kertész or Amos Oz but her literary explorations and rich narration can be feasibly equated to such canons of literature… Michelle’s craftsmanship of drawing characters is conspicuously dexterous.

Rising Kashmir

“As a book, The Almond Tree has been praised enough. All over the web and the literary circles, it has been hailed as the most engrossing book of the year. My review is on the same lines, not because I have to go with the flow, but because I genuinely like it. This is one book that deserves praise it gets. A woman writing via the eyes of a native man in a country she did not originally belong to is no easy feat. But Michelle writes a first person narrative via Ahmed Hamid so easily that some… Read more

Reader’s Muse

Gifted with a mind that continues to impress the elders in his village, Ahmed Hamid struggles with knowing that he can do nothing to save his friends and family. Living on occupied land, his entire village operates in fear of losing their homes, jobs, and belongings. But more importantly, the people fear losing each other.

Timid Fingers

“… a fascinating and, for me, eye-opening read which I won’t soon forget.”

Shining Skyline Book Review

“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.”

This debut work of Michelle Cohen Corasanti is definitely something which readers are going to cherish for decades. A lovely story of suppleness, faith and compassion which I am going to recommend to all my readers who are in search of a fascinating read.

Timid Fingers

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

Washington Report on the Middle East

You probably do not recognize the name Michelle Cohen Corasanti, but you will. She is the author of a consequential book that will force us to look at the tragic Palestinian Israeli conflict in much the same way that Solzshenitzyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich compelled us to examine the harsh realities of Soviet labor camps.

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

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

Ghetto Guftagu

“…a moving and powerful novel based on historical events, which the writer weaves together harmoniously… It is the type of story that will keep you wondering where reality ends and fiction starts.”

Gulf Daily News, Jamal Kanj author of Children of Catastrophe
