| Summary | "Jerusalem" by Jacob Israël de Haan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of Jewish and Arab characters living in Jerusalem, exploring themes of love, culture, and the socio-political dynamics of the time. The initial focus is on Hamame, a Yemeni maid within a boys' orphanage, who is set to marry for the second time, despite her misgivings about love and the financial implications of her engagements. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Hamame as she navigates the complexities surrounding her upcoming wedding. There are discussions about the expenses associated with the wedding, her estranged father, and past grievances with another character named Reine. The atmosphere is filled with the tension of personal relationships and community traditions, vividly portraying the cultural rituals amid the struggles of the characters. Through this detailed opening, the reader gets a poignant glimpse into both the private heartbreak and public celebration characteristic of life in early 20th-century Jerusalem.
