The Australian Friends of Palestine Association proudly presents Paul Heywood-Smith QC to launch Professor Stuart Rees’ powerful new novel, A Lover’s Country, about the plight of the Palestinians and how love and courage triumph against formidable odds.

“A truly remarkable read...”

“Told with a compelling immediacy...With a cast of memorable characters, a tightly crafted plot and touches of memorable poetry, A Lover’s Country is an illuminating tale of justice with a hard won message of hope. In particular it is a must-read for anyone interested in the current plight of the Palestinians, Arab-Israeli relations, and the presentation of these questions by the Western media.”
