This book is absolutely heartbreaking. The author masterfully describes Palestinian history, capturing every detail with an evocative prose. What makes it even more disturbing is how the depictions of violence mirror the ongoing genocide, making it feel as though history is repeating itself before our eyes(And it is). It is a must-read for anyone seeking to educate themselves on this. I couldn't put the book down and read it in one sitting; the author's way with words is truly compelling.

This is one of heartbreaking books I ever read, I hope we love to see a free palestine and for Palestinians to return to their homes
