Breakfast in Palestine recounts Dixiane’s introduction to her new Palestinian family, and how she coped with a new language, new culture, new social demands, and her love affair with the new and often unfamiliar foods—all while living through a war complete with tanks and heavy artillery.
Young and impulsive, Dixiane dove heart-first into a cross cultural marriage four months after meeting the man who was to become her life’s companion, Muhammad Hallaj. In the fairy tale version, they would have ridden off into the sunset and lived happily ever after. However, life seldom adheres to the fairy tale script.
In 1970 amidst escalating unrest in Jordan, they mailed their extensive collection of books, packed personal belongings and set off with their two sons—walking right into a civil war called Black September.
Read about learning culture through food and family—it's all connected.
