The narrating style reminds me of the legendary writer KHALED HOSSEINI, very simple way to narrate a story which will definitely force the readers to complete the book in one go.

Praise

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 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

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

Huffington Post

“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

“Rarely does a reader encounter a first novel so rich in irony, compassion, power, and the sheer beauty of timeless and universal truths. “…her powerful prose and compelling characters raises The Almond Tree to the status of epic”

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

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

Florryalyna’s blog

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.

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

Ujval’s Lounge

“…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.

“Unputdownable”

DNA

“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

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 Almond Tree skillfully cobbles together a mosaic of the Palestinian condition from the mid-twentieth century to the present time with stark candor.

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

“If you enjoyed The Kite Runner or In the Shadow of the Banyan, you will want to read The Almond Tree”

Carol Fitzgerald, co-Founder/President of The Book Report Network

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 emerges as a powerful writer in this novel.”

Infected Mind Blog

The name itself sends a tickling sensation down the spine. After completing the whole book I can very easily say this is the best possible name for this piece of art. The role the tree has conveyed in this book makes the name perfect.

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

Anu Reviews

“…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

The Almond Tree is instead the literary equivalent of Guernica, exposing the real costs of violent conflict, extinguished human dreams, families torn asunder, opportunities lost, and the tragic waste of brilliant and creative human minds.
