` This is my manifesto for morning. There is an energy in the earlier hours, an awareness I enjoy. In today`s world we tend to wake as late as we can, timed to when we have to work. But we don`t need to chase the day.` In Morning, Allan Jenkins shows how getting up earlier even once a week or month can free us to be more imaginative, to maybe read, to walk, to write. He talks to other early risers such as Jamie Oliver & Samuel West, to poets & painters. We hear from a neuroscientist about sleep, a philosopher about dawn, a fisherman about light. Allan wakes early, he listens, he looks. He introduces us to a secret world. This is a celebration of dawn & morning: the best time of day. ...

Mornings in Jenin is a multi-generational story about a Palestinian family. Forcibly removed from the olive-farming village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejos are displaced to live in canvas tents in the Jenin refugee camp. We follow the Abulhejo family as they live through a half century of violent history. Amidst the loss & fear, hatred & pain, as their tents are replaced by more forebodingly permanent cinderblock huts, there is always the waiting, waiting to return to a lost home. The novel`s voice is that of Amal, the granddaughter of the old village patriarch, a bright, sensitive girl who makes it out of the camps, only to return years later, to marry & bear a child. Through her eyes, with her evolving vision, we get the story of her brothers, one who is kidnapped to be raised Jewish, one who will end with bombs strapped to his middle. But of the many interwoven stories, stretching backward & forward in time, none is more important than Amal`s own. Her story is one of love & loss, of childhood & marriage & parenthood, & finally the need to share her history with her daughter, to preserve the greatest love she has. Set against one of the twentieth century`s most intractable political conflicts, Mornings in Jenin is a deeply human novel
- a novel of history, identity, friendship, love, terrorism, surrender, courage, & hope. Its power forces us to take a fresh look at one of the defining conflicts of our lifetimes.
