This book is not meant to be entertaining. It is meant to expose you to the reality of life in a place where certain people are not considered human. Life under occupation is explored through the distant emotionless lens of a sexual assault and the footsteps of someone who attempts to uncover information about the event many years later.

This book provides a lot of important information about what is/has been going on in Palestine. It made me sick to my stomach, but it was absolutely a necessary read. This is going to stick with me for a very long time.
