A review by rmarcin
City of a Thousand Gates by Rebecca Sacks

2.0

This was a slog for me. I was really excited to read this book as I wanted to understand more of what it was like to live in Israel and to navigate the conflict between Jews and Palestinians. However, after the first part where there was intersection between characters, it went downhill for me. Much too much info on the sex lives that had no bearing on the story.
It took forever to get through this, although it wasn't really long. I wanted to put it down multiple times, but I thought that after a promising beginning, it was going to get better. Sadly, it didn't for me.
It just wasn't the book for me.
