A review by adele_courge
L'Attentat by ياسمينة خضرا, Yasmina Khadra

2.0

I read this because it's the only Palestine adjacent book that my local library had. It was a little disappointing. I really didn't like the writing style (so many metaphors, we get it dude, you know words good for you) and the main character was so annoying and sexist. And most importantly, it felt like it only brushed the surface of the anger and despair of Palestinian people. I wish less time was spent on Amine's self pity and more on his wife or other family members, their history, their feelings, their choices.
