First published in Arabic in 1966, All That’s Left to You is one of Ghassan Kanafani’s most innovative works. The novella follows twenty-four hours in the lives of Hamid and his sister Maryam, refugees living in Gaza and separated from their mother, who remains in Jordan.

When Maryam marries a man Hamid despises, Hamid sets out across the desert at night to reach his mother. Kanafani moves between the siblings’ voices, their memories, and even the voices of the desert and of time itself, creating a layered portrait of refugee life, family, honour and the Palestinian bond with the land. This English edition, translated by May Jayyusi and Jeremy Reed, also includes a selection of Kanafani’s short stories.
