Reading this, is a transformative, haunting, and beautiful experience. The two main characters are bonded by the loss of their daughters. One father Israeli, the other Palestinian. The graphic violence, the grief, the poetic weaving of the same story from one side of the land to the other is deeply moving. I have been reading this over about 4 months as it’s been disturbing and I wanted to digest and wrestle with the text. I annotated this (until my post its ran out) and would highly recommend this to anyone feeling a bit ‘Switzerland’ with the current conflict that’s going on at present. My one criticism is that I often struggled to follow who the story was taking after but otherwise wow this is worth a read.
