An eye-opening poignant exploration into Palestinian identity, complicated human relationships and emotions, and the complexity of what is termed as the Pan-Arab identity. Yet another Palestinian book featuring queer characters that I enjoyed greatly - and had to stop every now and then to realise and see how the world does not seem to have changed much for Palestinians.
