This book had great language and an interesting premise, but I felt it only touched the surface of what it could have about the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. I felt the narrator understood little of what was going on and as a reader I then felt I understood little.

This book was written with feeling and the desire to tell the world about her homeland. Abi-Ezzi obviously was deeply affected by the war in Lebanon.
Unfortunately she was not able to make me feel her emotions and experiences. I could not find a connection to her characters. I am sure that there are readers who will find this book fascinating. I had hoped to be one of them.

buku ini saya berikan rating 2,7 dari 5 bintang.. tema yg diangkat sevenarnya menarik mengenai kisah suatu keluarga yg bertahan hidup di era 1980an dimana Beirut dilanda perang..
cuma sayang alurnya terlalu lama dan membuat cepat bosan membacanya.. apalagi ini diambil dari sudut pandang ruba, gadis kecil berusia 8 tahun yg harus hidup di jaman ini..
