A wonderful read. Story draws you in and although you feel the impact of war, the displacement of Palestinians, and the pain of families fleeing and resettling, the author helps you see these things within a beautiful story about the characters’ lives and relationships.

Beautiful story and family. Predictable in many ways. Just shows humanity and people doing what people do. It’s beautiful and simple in that way.
