I’m glad so many people enjoyed this one, unfortunately it wasn’t for me.
I thought the two point of views to be too disconnected to link them coherently. The second point of view was told in a “this happened, and then this happened” format, which I hate. All in all, I thought this book would have more of an impact than it actually did.

From a writing perspective - I liked the two completely different narrative voices: the 3rd person view of the IDF soldier (confident, without much emotions/and any remorse @ his actions), and the 1st person view of an Palestinian woman from the west bank having to been grown up and live under those conditions - her constant anxiety and neuroticism (stemming from the trauma of being occupied, oppressed, bombed, and not allowed to move freely)
(Might come back to continue to review this after i have sorted my thoughts - also trying to start and get better at reviewing)
