Read this for my local library’s book club and I’m so glad I did. I am not a big historical fiction person but this was a realllly interesting perspective on Palestine, not just about the naksa and the Palestinian diaspora, but about class within the Palestinian community. 

Highly recommend this one, especially for people familiar with the history of Palestine.
