Extremely sad but very beautifully written and kept my attention the entire way through. The parallels between the stories are well drawn out by Adania Shibli, and I think she does an excellent job of developing the characters and establishing a natural rhythm with the story progression. The ending is abrupt but packs a punch and leaves you with a lot to think about (and maybe, hopefully, some actions to take, where possible).
