Salt Houses by Hala Alyan
4.0
emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Beautiful multigenerational story of one family’s journey thru life, wars, children, marriage, grief, etc
This was recommended by a pro-Palestine activist, so I was surprised by how little Palestine featured, but I’m still glad I read it.
This made me long for a family like theirs - rather than my distantly polite and waspish network of relatives that barely exist to each other
