This book was a challenging read. I don't know if it was because of translation soley or if the writing was also confusing. It was a challenge to follow the plot fully either way.
What I did understand was interesting and complex and also did wonders to highlight more about the atrocities done against the Palistinian people's.
There was also somewhat questionable portrial of disability in this book. It was complex and layered but seeped in violence either way. It was interesting to analyze.
