Reseña del libro "Khaled and Jamila"

What in the world is beautiful forever? When disconnection rocks a family, the mistakes of one generation become the heartaches of the next ... 1959, the West Bank, Palestine. Khaled''s bossy, hot-tempered father insists that his son go to college in the States so he can learn to help him run his business. Khaled, Arabic for forever, is reluctant to leave his secret, hometown crush. But he''s bullied into taking off for Ann Arbor. There he falls for a blue-collar American girl. One thing leads to another, including a daughter named Jamila, Arabic for beautiful. Family mayhem erupts on all sides. Fast forward to 1984. Jamila has come of age growing up in Ann Arbor during the turbulent sixties and seventies. There she falls for her brother''s best friend, Ali, who she''s known for years. But even though he''s practically a member of the family, Ali is Black. Interracial marriages in the US are still few and far between. Mayhem breaks out again, tearing close ties apart. And so, what might Sitti, the grandmother conciliator, have to say? The names and heartaches of Khaled and Jamila ask, what in this mad world is beautiful forever? In Anan Ameri''s noisy, impatient, vibrant novel, enduring beauty is the kind of love that family can teach us. And it''s the larger, ever-expanding family of connections that love can show us when we learn to let it.
