A heartfelt portrait of an embattled people that illuminates all sides of a seemingly unsolvable conflict.” ─Kirkus Reviews
"The Struggle Continues tells a gripping story of life in war-torn Lebanon in the 1970s and early 1980s. Ali is only a boy when his family must flee, joining thousands of Palestinian refugees trying to escape violence and being drawn into a bitter struggle for a homeland. Thomson’s characters are complex and interwoven and their challenges take the reader into refugee camps, hospitals, PLO meetings and even the United Nations, where things are not entirely as they seem. The novel is fast-paced and keeps its readers turning pages while offering unusual insight into this volatile point in Middle Eastern history." - Whistler independent book awards
