Summary:"Hawwa is a child of the grinding hardship of a Palestinian refugee camp. She has had to survive the camp itself, as well as teh humiliation and destruction of an abusive family life. But now, later in life, something most unexpected has happened: she has fallen in love. Velvet unfolds over a day in Hawwa's life, as she makes plans for a new beginning that may take her out of the camp. She sifts back through her memories of the past: the stories of her family, her childhood, and her beloved mentor, Sitt Qamar. This is anovel of enormous power and great beauty. Rich in detail, it tells of the women of the camp, and the joy and relief that can be captured amid repression and sorrow"--Back cover.
