3.5
3.5? For me this was really slow and some parts just did not capture me. But then some chapters were EPIC and I flew through them!! Like when Betty becomes friends with Anna through the letter writing, the story of how Nuha joined the family. and then the whole “red chandelier” bit got me too. I enjoyed the queerness of this and the overlying commentary on Israel but it almost felt too large in scope for me to really feel engaged the whole time
