It was interesting to get an insight into the lives of Bedouin Palestinian women and girls. The 18 stories in this book focuses on the courage, resilience, tragedies and triumphs of the women & girls in this society.

Though, most of the stories were interesting, there were some that I felt were incomplete.

Stories I enjoyed:
They fell like stars from the sky.
Pink dress.
I’ll be there.
Ali
Serpent
W-h-o-r-e
The day my donkey died
The door to the body
