dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.0

It's a small but mighty book with shocking moments. Told in two parts, we witness gendered violence and stay a short while with lives disrupted and destroyed by Israel's crimes against humanity. Consuming this in a day, I just had to know how it would end. It kept me enthralled right to the last page.

5.0

This story gave a good description on living as a Palestinian in occupied Palestine. The simple act of taking interest in local history and wanting to learn more is almost comically inaccessible, let alone trying to do anything else. The symbolism of the story would be really interesting to dissect.
