Once again, I'm blown away with Susan Abulhawa's skill and passion. she writes about tremendously heavy topics in a way that really connects with her readers. I will recommend this book until every person I know has read it.
Libby stole it back before I was ready😭😭 I was actually pretty into it too. I don’t think that I was reading it at the right time but i definitely want to revisit it at a later time.
Got boring and also a bit too triggering (SA)

“For the ones we love nothing is ever trouble, and everything is never enough”
I’m so moved by this book, truly. Heavy material but beautifully written.

Loved this hybrid story of politics and love, family, violence, and unrest. While I found some sections confusing (probably because I was reading late into the night!) I was gripped and the end was extremely satisfying for me.
