Rabi Harr a Journey of Patience and Thorns

Wild Thorns is about war and revolution. It is about war within the Palestinian community, as well as war between the Palestinian and Israeli communities. The Occupied West Bank is described as a society under assault from the outside and the inside. Yet this society, despite the misfortunes of its citizens, soldiers on. Although the novel is by definition not history, an accurate portrayal of society, even if fictional, can provide real historical insight.
