What does it mean to carry a homeland through memory?
In this episode of the Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq sits down with Amy Abdelnoor, author of Ever Land, for a powerful conversation about Palestine, memory, identity, belonging and resilience.
Amy reflects on the inspiration for her novel, the symbolism of the cactus and the Palestinian connection to land.
Drawing on Amy’s Lebanese heritage and her experiences in Palestine and Lebanon, the conversation also explores how memory can become a form of continuity, how a sense of place can survive across generations, and why Palestine remains so deeply embedded in Palestinian identity. They also explore writing as resistance and the power of storytelling to create empathy.
