Out of It is the first novel of British-Palestinian author Selma Dabbagh, published by Bloomsbury in December 2011.

[1] It follows a family's life in Gaza and London in the larger context of its occupation.

Like a good short story, Out of It manages to fit in a great deal without feeling crowded....

"[6] According to Kirkus Reviews: "Dabbagh unsparingly shows a people divided and demoralized by six decades of exile and powerlessness, and her novel quietly but acidly indicts Western ignorance of and indifference to the Palestinians’ plight.

Yet, the book is also a finely wrought tale of family and coming-of-age that fulfills the mandates of any serious work of fiction.... Fine work from a gifted writer who has important subject matter to explore.
