All the Rivers: A Controversial Love Story
Introduction
All the Rivers is a compelling and thought-provoking audiobook written by Dorit Rabinyan. This controversial and award-winning story explores the passionate yet challenging romance between Liat, an Israeli woman, and Hilmi, a Palestinian man. Set in Greenwich Village, the novel takes readers on a journey as Liat and Hilmi navigate their love amidst the complexities of their conflicted homeland.
Description
When Liat encounters Hilmi on a blustery afternoon in Greenwich Village, she never expected to be drawn to him. Hilmi, a talented Palestinian artist, captivates Liat with his charismatic personality and exquisite talent. Despite knowing that their love can only be temporary and away from their troubled homeland, Liat allows herself to be enchanted by Hilmi - his creative mind, his beautiful hands, and his wisdom.
Together, Liat and Hilmi explore the vibrant city, sharing moments of joy, laughter, and homesickness. However, Liat's guilt weighs heavily on her as she conceals their relationship from her Israeli family and Jewish friends in New York. As her departure date back to Israel approaches, Liat must confront a difficult decision - is she willing to risk alienating her loved ones and her own identity for the love of one man?
Banned by the Israeli Ministry of Education, All the Rivers is a novel that delves into the complexities of forbidden love. It intertwines a love story with a war story, a New York tale with a Middle Eastern narrative, and a raw exploration of the bonds and divisions that shape our lives. Hilmi reminds Liat that ultimately, "all the rivers flow into the same sea," highlighting the shared humanity that exists between different cultures and societies.
