The Guardian is raiding its long read archives to bring back classic pieces from years past, with new introductions from the authors. This week's selection is from 2022.
A Family's Return
All her life, Fida Jiryis's exiled parents had told her about the tragedy of Palestine. Then, when she was in her early 20s, her family moved back – and she saw it with her own eyes.
The piece, written by Fida Jiryis and read by Sarah Agha, is part of the Audio Long Read series. It explores the personal experience of returning to a homeland shaped by loss and displacement.
Listen and Read
The audio version is available now, and a text version can be found online. The episode is accompanied by a photograph by Dan Balilty/AP.
