Officially DNF-ing. The parts about Israel and the Ex-IDF officer is a big red flag and got me questioning if the author themselves are a zionist.

I'm not sure if I liked this book or not. I'm really conflicted about it. A lot happened, but, having just finished it, I feel like nothing happened at all? Not a very memorable book, probably because I didn't find it engaging in any way. Didn't really connect with the characters, wasn't invested in their lives, wasn't invested in the setting or the plot of the story.
The writing wasn't bad, but I'd say that I was "told" and not "shown" for a lot of it. The book covers decades, though, so I'm not surprised about this. This story would be way longer if I was "shown" instead.

This story is so beautifully weaved together. You get to know the main characters though the vignettes that span their relationship, and their connection is palpable. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
