On the day that her father dies, Jumana makes a discovery about her blood type. Hers could not have been inherited from her father―the father she sometimes longed for, but always despised.

No One Knows Their Blood Type is a novel of identity, belonging, and conflicting truths―of stories, secrets, songs, rumors, and lies. On the day that her father dies, Jumana makes a discovery about her blood type. Hers could not have been inherited from her father―the father she sometimes longed for, but always despised. This extraordinary novel of Palestine centers its narrative not on the battlefield of history, but on how women live every day and the colonial context of their embodied lives. With humor and exhilarating inventiveness, it asks: why aren’t questions of love, friendship, parenthood, and desire at the core of our conversations about liberty and freedom? How would this transform our ideas of resistance?
