“Once in a Promised Land is an intricate braid of secrets, some
intimate, some the brutal and nasty ones abroad these days in a land whose
promise and promises have been shattered by suspicion and hostility. Laila
Halaby, who still dares to dream of an intact culture, has written a forceful
novel that catches innocence and the hope for wholeness in the web of its
complex plot and squeezes them until they bleed.” —Rosellen Brown,
author of Before and After
