We Are All Made Of Glue by Marina Lewycka

3.0

I enjoyed the story here but the approach to discussions of Israel and zionism were not up my alley (in the sense that it wasn't necessary pro-Israel, but it wasn't starkly anti-zionist, either). It felt very... liberal. The complexity of the situation doesn't mean folks should just sit back and watch it continue to happen. An Israeli character who can live in the same home as Palestinian refugees is not.... an admirable character, even though he seemed to be framed as such.

I did appreciate the way the story seems to center around the manipulation of elders and seizing property from the elderly under the guise of their protection and safety; I don't think people write about that or know enough about that whole world.
