beautiful, elegantly written, devastating. M
Sonia, an actress, resides in London but returns to Palestine, where she spent adolescent summers visiting her family. She is eventually sucked into playing Gertrude in a production of Hamlet. As the production continues, Sonia interrogates the many ghosts of Palestine- martyrs, old homes, lost selves. She also navigates the complications of human relationships and her own connections to the political and social. The prose is so beautiful and it’s all so lovingly rendered, really captivating!

I put this down for a while about halfway through but couldn’t stop thinking about it so finished it today and i’m so glad i did! Moving and precise and sharp (and funny!), and such a vivid depiction of Palestine and resistance. I loved it !!!
