"Terror cannot be smoothed away by rational thinking."

Tucson, Arizona, may be light-years away from Jassim and Salwa's native Jordan, but it isn't far enough to provide the freedom and acceptance for which they'd hoped. Jassim, a hydrologist, works tirelessly to preserve the water table; Salwa, his wife, spends her days in a bank and moonlights selling real estate, trying to stave off her desire for a child. In this new century, however, a national cloud of suspicion and doubt threatens the promise of their life together. First, Jassim is involved in a car accident. Then Salwa seeks solace from an unstable co-worker, and Jassim -- solid citizen and respected professional -- is bullied by the FBI in their hunt for domestic terrorists.

Halaby's second novel displays an extraordinary ability to get deep within her characters, to see the world as they do. Once in a Promised Land is a novel of terrible truths. Wanting what many of us want -- family, a home, and justice -- Jassim and Salwa must watch as their brave hopes suffer a fateful conflict with the way we live now. (Spring 2007 Selection)

New York City, NY - Kris Sorbie

Sometimes you run out of adjectives. Or the adjectives lose their luster. What if I say that Once in a Promised Land is brilliant, insightful, heartbreaking, enchanting -- what does that even mean anymore? But this novel is brilliant because the prose glows, sends off heat. Insightful because it allows us to see into a place that most of us don't know about. Heartbreaking because you can feel the situation that these characters are trapped in. And enchanting because it's told in the form of a fairy tale that lets us believe that, somehow, these poor souls may be able to rescue themselves.

Clifton Park, NY - Howard Hafetz

In this trial of post-9/11 America, a Jordanian couple enjoys the spoils of freedom until fate curdles their dreams. Living in Tucson, Ariz., husband Jassim is a hydrologist with an immigrant's-eye view of the States as a place of "stainless steel promises... and possibility." His wife, Salwa, also believes in a country where anything from "a house in the foothills to sex with a co-worker" could be yours. But after the "crazy suicide" that destroys the Twin Towers, their idyllic lives are torpedoed; paranoid bigotry, patriotism run amok and a baseless FBI investigation are only the beginning. Compounding the suspicion, Jassim is involved in a fatal car accident and Salwa--haunted by a miscarriage and confused by the affections of another man--sends large amounts of money back home. Halaby (West of the Jordan) uses this second novel to zero in on clashing cultures and lob rhetorical Molotov cocktails against the land of "antennas to God." Her prose crackles, but at the expense of her characters, whose inner lives are unconvincing even as their circumstances are awfully real. (Jan.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
