I get what the author was trying to do and the premise of the book was interesting but it just kind of fell flat for me.

Poignancy was the main feeling I had reading this book. It's easy to sympathize and empathize with the women in both parts of the story, as they face oppression and outright brutality at the hands of Israel's occupying forces.
I'm glad I finally got to read this after having been on a waitlist through my library since November.

If I’ve read a book with this writing style before, it’s been long enough that I don’t remember it.
This book is exceptional. Even when nothing was happening, I was still tense and riveted.
Wow.
