5.0

what an incredible book. the parallels between the events of the book and the current genocide in Palestine was heartbreaking to read.

at times i felt lost in the book, with the jumping timelines and historical events i was unfamiliar with. however, the evocative imagery of the settings and the characters overrided my confusion. i will cherish this book for a long time.
