Shocked to discover that many of his fellow citizens have adjusted to life under military rule, Usama sets out to accomplish his mission …with disastrous consequences.

Wild Thorns is the first Arab novel to offer a glimpse of social and personal relations under Israeli occupation. Featuring unsentimental portrayals of everyday life, its uncompromising honesty and rich emotional core plead elegantly for the cause of survival in the face of oppression.
