Cactus Pear My Beloved is a moving story about love, loss, and memories. The cactus pear in the title has been used well to represents both the hard and lighter sides of life.

The story focuses on a relationship and the complicated emotions that come with it.

Overall, Cactus Pear My Beloved is a gentle story about love and time.

The author tells the story of her father, a renowned poet, from his birth till his exile from Palestine. It’s full of love, family, belonging, history, connection to land and survival. I found it a beautiful and powerful read.
