Mark Spencer author, The Masked Demon, A Haunted Love Story and The Weary Motel

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.

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.

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

While reading The Almond Tree, I was strongly reminded of The Kite Runner and One Thousand Splendid Suns. The Almond Tree is about the controversial history of Palestine and it gifts you with an experience so exquisite that you can’t help but marvel.

Illuminati

“The story is spell-binding with universal appeal…”

The Daily Star

The Almond Tree, is honest. It places real blame, not gratuitous blame, where it belongs. It does not hide behind political complexities nor shift responsibility for some truly abhorrent practices of Israel toward the Palestinian people. Neither does it condone retaliatory violence.

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

“…brilliant and powerful…a fiction that rings with authenticity and integrity to reveal the wonder of what it really is to be human. If ever peace is to become a reality between Israel and Palestine, it will be because of the influence of books such as this…This…book…will endure and resonate forever in the souls of all who read it…Some books have the power to change us profoundly; this is one of those books.”

Les Edgerton, author of The Death of Tarpons and Monday´s Meal

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 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

“…an epic drama of the proportions of The Kite Runner”

Huffington Post

” …a strong addition to coming of age fiction collections, highly recommended.”

The MidwestBook Review

“…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.

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

The Times of Israel

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

“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

“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

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.
