“I predict (The Almond Tree) will become one of the biggest bestsellers of the decade…”

Huffington Post

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

Florryalyna’s blog

“An epic novel, a drama of the proportions of The Kite Runner…”

Huffington Post

The Almond Tree humanizes a culture and brings characters from a distant land to life.

Timid Fingers

‘The Almond Tree’ has one of the most powerful opening chapters that I have ever come across in a book, and instantly draws you towards its vortex. Sentiments and emotions play their parts well, and the author does a great job in painting the images right before our eyes. The scenes seem real with the words drawing the colors in the horizon. A book that is adorned with smiles and tears, living with hope, and with failure, ‘The Almond Tree’ makes you see life in an all new perspective, and… Read more

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

The Daily Star

“, 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 book will be a best seller of the decade…’ Huffington Post was right! This would be a best seller for sure.

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.

“Fantastic story, unforgettable characters, and an issue that is still going on this very day.”

Read Dream Relax

“(The Almond Tree) had traces of Victor Frankl’s Man’s search for Meaning. Both of them talk about the surviving through the worst possible human conditions and coming out of it with flying colors, keeping a hope alive for humanity in the middle of hatred, violence and all kinds of divisions that we let come between us and our fellow beings. This also opened up the geography and politics of Israel and Palestine for me, of which I had a very vague idea based on newspaper reports. At the end o… Read more

Book Reviews by Anuradha Goya

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

Her book assists us in challenging the lie that the expedients of inhumane policies and treatment are justified to secure a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and the restoration of human rights to the ordinary Palestinians who simply want to live with dignity and freedom.

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

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

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

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

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

“Like Khaled Housseni, Michelle Cohen Corasanti has done a brilliant job in bringing out the truth…”

Books You Read

“…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

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

Ghetto Guftagu

“Beautifully written” “…exhibits an inherent knowledge of life in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Gaza.” “Corasanti’s elaboration of history and fiction has created a touching narration which ensnares the reader from the first chapter.”

Middle East Monitor

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