I'll Tell You When I'm Home by Hala Alyan
One of TIMEs 100 Must-Read Books of 2025 and Electric Lit's Best Nonfiction of 2025 The rich and deeply personal debut memoir of motherhood via surrogacy, by award-winning Palestinian-American poet and novelist Hala Alyan.‘A poignant exploration of her tumultuous path to parenthood, identity, and displacement … The memoir unfolds like the tale of Scheherazade from One Thousand and One Nights, where Hala becomes the ‘waiting woman,’ reckoning with all the truths of her life before stepping into motherhood … a stunning kaleidoscope of vignettes … More than a story of motherhood and exile, I’ll Tell You When I’m Home is a testimony of everything at once … a moving tribute to the strength of those forced from their homelands and ruthlessly exploited, as well as a celebration of women’s determination to survive and thrive'
