"With her debut novel Haifa Fragments, Palestinian Slovakian writer khulud khamis pens a compulsive narrative that examines the complex of nationality, gender, sexuality, religion and culture in Palestine." Peter Cherry, The Electronic Intifada
"Haifa Fragments is a book of hope, delusion, and pain; it is a most welcome addition to Palestinian literature, especially as it sheds light on subjects often considered taboo. It must be read by anyone who wants to understand the social and cultural mechanism of a fragmented society that lives under several layers of oppression, both old and new." Mahmoud Muna, This Week in Palestine
"Haifa Fragments is a new novel by Khulud Khamis that explores the life of a Palestinian citizen of Israel who refuses to be crushed by the feeling that she is an unwelcome guest in the land of her ancestors." Chris Brazier, New Internationalist Magazine
"Although the novel is low-key and subtle when it comes to conflict, one anticipates danger at every turn of the page, as if there were a ticking time bomb in the background waiting to explode and implode on all the characters lives." Rana Asfour, Bookfabulous
"Khamis offers no easy answers but her focus on the shared humanity of Christians, Jews and Muslims in the region is compelling." Lucy Popescu, The Independent
