feels like the afterword should have been in the introduction - would have been better for setting context. otherwise a perfect book!

For all of those who've read Against the Loveless World, by Susan Abulhawa, this is a must-read. A Party for Thaera is a collection of first-person accounts compiled through a creative writer's workshop with Palestinian women prisoners, and it gives voice to their experiences before, during and after imprisonment. Some recount memories, others dreams, others reflections on time lost or found. Trapped in a system that does not require conviction - or even a charge - to hold them indefinitely, these women share their frustrations and their hard-won joys, and provide a small glimpse into the lives of the thousands of women prisoners held in Israeli prisons for various political/resistance charges through the last several decades.
