I feel like throughout the years this book covers it captures displacement the best. I felt like the idea of salt houses was honed in and not forced. I did feel like some perspective chapters did just feel forced to include most people within the family- but overall a strong generational family read. I felt like the characterization just felt a bit off for some characters. I am interested in reading Hala Alyan’s poetry !
