This work is an autobiographical memoir about the ironies of homecoming. The bridge that Barghouti crosses as a young man leaving his country in 1966 to pursue university studies in Cairo, is the same bridge that he uses to cross back in 1996 after a 30-year diaspora. It is about the harrowing experience of a Palestinian, denied the most elementary human rights in his occupied country and in exile alike.
