The Anatomy of Exile will appeal to readers who like strong central female characters who may not always be likable- think Olive Ketteridge. Also for readers who want an unusual immigration story, who may be interested in subtle identity politics as central characters are Arab Jews who have fled Israel and have a conflicted relationship with Palestine and Palestinians, who enjoy the universal human truth of a "Romeo and Juliette" romance how it can break a family. There are themes of how families hold themselves together under stress and how immigration stresses intergenerational relationships and identity.
