A review by joonswifey
My First and Only Love by Sahar Khalifeh

the translation is just not that good, i think. i got so bored. the language is clunky and drones on quite a bit. it’s exhausting to read. it made me really frustrated because i’m trying to read palestinian authors, and the beginning chapters were gorgeous, but there are two timelines and no clarity as to when we’re switching between them and i could not follow the story at all.
