After years away from her family's homeland, and reeling from a disastrous love affair, actress Sonia Nasir returns to Haifa to visit her older sister Haneen. On her arrival, she finds her relationship to Palestine is fragile, both bone-deep and new.
When Sonia meets the charismatic Mariam, a local director, she joins a production of Hamlet in the West Bank. Soon, Sonia is rehearsing with a dedicated, if competitive, group of men - yet as opening night draws closer, it becomes clear just how many obstacles stand before the troupe. Amidst it all, the life she once knew starts to give way to the exhilarating possibility of finding a new self in her ancestral home.

A love letter to theater and to Palestine
Sonia Nasir was raised between England and Palestine, and, following the end of a chaotic love affair, decides to visit her sister Haneen in Haifa. There, she meets director Mariam, who convinces her to join an arabic production of Hamlet. "Enter Ghost" is a beautiful book about theater, family and about what it means to find a home away from home. Isabella Hammad wrote an article about the history of theater used as a form of protest by the Palestinian people, which was published online for free on lithub.com and really puts this novel into a broader context, a context that, to me, only adds to the beauty and strength behind this story. A must read for anyone interested in Shakespeare, or Palestine, or the meaning of art, or all three. Also available in German under the same name, published by Luchterhand.
