This book provides a lot of important information about what is/has been going on in Palestine. It made me sick to my stomach, but it was absolutely a necessary read. This is going to stick with me for a very long time.

4.5

The biggest threat to Israel's story in this book is not the two horrific moments of violence in this novel. Those can lazily be denied as unrealistic and moments unsure to the fog of war. However, the trek to each moment is a series of acts of violence of themselves. Racism and physical occupation being the main two.
