Laying Eggs in the Air

About the Book

Adham Rayyes, a Canadian of Palestinian descent, successfully negotiates the path of a young Arab immigrant, but is compelled to seek answers to the ultimate issue that haunts Palestinians everywhere; that of returning to, and finding a home, in the land of his ancestors. Is God conspiring to create surprising circumstances that reunite him with childhood friends, including a Jewish roommate, in a circuitous, but seemingly inevitable confrontation with the truth? The prophets, old and new, Moses, Mohammed, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mandela and Obama, help to guide him in this odyssey of purification.
