5.0
Incredibly impactful with elegant, beautiful writing that steadily builds to an inevitably horrific conclusion. The meandering pace, cyclical descriptions, and detached narrative language create an unsettling, powerful lasting image unlike anything I’ve ever read.
Absolutely deserving of every accolade and I highly recommend it. Please review the list of content warnings.

npolanchik's review against another edition
3.0
The first half depicts the rape and murder of a Palestinian woman in the 40s whereas the second half follows a modern-day Palestinian woman fixated on this one murder, generations later.
There’s such detail and description that I got lost with the audiobook and wavered attention in the first half. I do think there is probably much symbolism, metaphor, and connections I missed by not reading the physical copy.
